Beautiful, intense fruit, dark-earth and chocolate character on the nose. Full-bodied with great density and plush, fine tannins that give a fine-velvet texture. It’s extremely long, polished and sophisticated. Needs time to come together, but expressive and glorious. Fantastic relative value.

Still available in the UK for an absurdly low price for the quality, this gorgeous wine combines the cooler blue fruit appeal of the 2016 (not quite as sensual today as the 2015), with better density. The palate is more subtle in its opulence than the 2015 and with a fresher finish. A grand example of this underrated terroir, which I had visited back in 2021. Give it a few more years to soften the tannins. (PK)

The 2019 Tour Saint Christophe builds on the promise it showed from barrel. This sample was actually tasted at my home, where I afforded it a two-hour decant. It revealed precocious yet controlled blackberry and blueberry fruit scents, with that violet component still intact. The tannins have not lost any of their grippiness or assertiveness. This is a Saint-Émilion that is in for the long haul. Great potential. (NM)

This estate has been delivering the goods for numerous vintages now, and the 2019 Château Tour Saint Christophe is another terrific wine. Ripe black cherries, black raspberries, graphite, new leather, and chalky minerality all define the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied, has a tight, straight, focused texture, ripe yet present tannins, and outstanding length. It doesn't have the mid-palate density or opulence of the 2018, but it’s more pretty, focused, and straight on the palate.

Tour St-Christophe has quickly become one of our favorite properties in Bordeaux over the past decade. Coming from vines opposite of Barde-Haut, around the corner from Troplong Mondot, this is terroir that has crafted some of the best value in the entire region in recent years. For me, the 2019 is remarkable for it's precision, bold fruit with a weightless texture, and overall refinement. Deep red to black fruits build around the palate with well-integrated tannins, leading to a long finish tinged with a touch of salinity. For the Bordeaux crowd, it certainly speaks to a sense of place and has the hallmarks for a graceful and compelling evolution. For those who want to experience top-flight Bordeaux for a song at this stage in the game, it also checks that box as well.

Notes

94 points, Antonio Galloni - Vinous: "The 2019 Tour Saint Christophe is a fabulous wine that marries fruit intensity and structure. Black cherry, graphite, dried herbs, menthol, licorice and spice give this driving, potent Saint-Émilion tons of character. Tour Saint-Christophe remains one of the greatest values in Bordeaux."
