Château Tour Saint Joseph 2019
Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois - 2019
Founded at the turn of the 20th century, this estate, which was then called Cru Latour Saint-Joseph, quickly proved its worth by gaining the status of “Château” as well as great renown within the village of Cissac-Médoc. The utmost care, including ageing in new oak barrels, is lavished on this prestigious wine which rubs shoulders with the equally famous vineyards of Saint-Estèphe and Pauillac.
