Les Terrasses de Saint Christophe AOC Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, 2018

Aromas of red fruits combine with oaky coconut character, dried flowers, figs and a touch of leather creating lots of interest. Succulent dark fruits emerge on the palate which is dense and grainy in texture with a smoky blackcurrant finish. This is the second wine of Château Tour Saint Christophe situated in the east of the Saint-Émilion Appellation. It has narrow terraced vines overlooking the Saint Laurent Valley. The estate has been reviving the terraces and old dry-stone walls built in the 18th century. Les Terrasses is made from younger vines, predominantly Merlot with 10% Cabernet Franc. It was matured in new and old barrels for 15 months.
