Château Tour Saint Bonnet – Médoc – Red – 2017:
Château Tour Saint-Bonnet: The Classic Cru Bourgeois Médoc
Château Tour Saint-Bonnet stands as a beacon of traditional winemaking on Bordeaux’s Left Bank. Consistently rated as a Cru Bourgeois, this estate, owned by the Lafon family since 1903, offers a structured, age-worthy red wine that captures the essence of the Médoc appellation. Its gravelly soils, situated near the Gironde estuary, are perfectly suited to growing the classic Bordeaux blend.
Tasting Notes & Profile
This Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot-dominant blend presents a deep ruby red color. The nose is rich and complex, leading with concentrated dark fruit flavors-blackcurrant and plum-complemented by developing notes of cedar, tobacco, and earthy licorice. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied with a pronounced structure, featuring firm, well-integrated tannins that soften beautifully with age. The finish is long, robust, and often shows a subtle savory spice.
Pairing & Service
- Serving Temperature: 60-64°F (16-18°C). Decanting for 60 minutes is recommended for younger bottles to allow the wine to breathe.
- Food Pairings: This structured claret is built for hearty, savory American cuisine.
