Description:
Château Tour de Yon is located just a few yards from the famous Château Yon Figeac. The immaculately tended vineyards are among the most pristine you will find anywhere in Bordeaux. Old vines, low yields, harvest done by hand, new oak and meticulous sorting result in sumptuous blends, that rivals many more illustrious names.
Saint Emilion Château Tour de Yon Grand Cru. Cabernet Franc, Merlot, from Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, France. Beautiful deep purple wine, with an intense bouquet of red fruits, like red berries and cherries, followed by minerals and an animal touch of just-tanned leather and lightly toasted wood. Powerful mouth-filling wine with aromas of fruit and spice, the firm tannins require as much as three to four years of aging before coming into balance. In summary, a masculine wine with charm.
Critical Acclaim:
"Wood spices and dark chocolate with peppercorns, graphite and mushrooms to the dark cherry fruit. Some blackberries. Ripe and fine-veined, this has firm tannins, medium to full body and a pretty lengthy finish. Nice complexity here. Give it at least one more year to let the sweet wood spices integrate more." [+]
