Chateau de la Tour is situated 15km east of Bordeaux, on the higher ground above the village of Salleboeuf. The ruins of the medieval castle once owned by Pope Clement V from which the Chateau takes its name can be found in the grounds. Since 1990 the property has been taken over by Dourthe part of the CVBG Dourthe Kressmann group. Under their ownership a huge amount of investment has taken place in the vineyards and in the cuverie and the legendary Michel Rolland now oversees the winemaking. The vineyards now extend to 104 hectares entirely dedicated to the production of red wines. A blend of 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 65% Merlot and sourced from 145ha of vineyard in which the vines are trained 2.2m from the ground in order to obtain optimum ripeness by reducing the shadow on the bunches. Treatment of vineyard is after analysis and only as required. The wine is fermented using modern methods; a pneumatic press is used for crushing, stainless steel vats and temperature control systems are employed when fermenting the individual parcels, and ageing is for 15 to 16 months in new barrels before blending. Mellow nose, with aromas of dense, fleshy fruit. This bordeaux is tasty and rich, with surprising concentration, good purity and depth, low acidity and plump fleshy fruit. Solid mouthfeel and excellent length. Available in half bottles. (12 x 37.5 cl)
