Wine Spectator
"A romantic tower in the middle of the vineyards gives the property its name. Once again, this estate offers a beautiful wine that is 'classic but without austerity,' as one taster sums it up. This is a very pleasant and consistent Saint-Estèphe, with a fruity (redcurrant, blackcurrant, blackberry) and smoky bouquet, dense and balanced on the palate, built on well-integrated tannins. " (Le Guide Hachette des Vins). A generous red with a very indulgent finish!

Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Wine rated 15.5/20 (Very good)
About wine:
The intense nose reveals spicy aromas and animal notes against a backdrop of black fruit. Supple on the palate, it has plenty of volume and a beautiful tannic structure. Fruity nuances and generosity give it a delicious finish.

Rated estate Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About the estate:
This magnificent tower of Gallo-Roman origin gave its name to this Saint-Estèphe estate, which owes its renown to the Anney family. Christophe, who has been at the helm since 1979, has worked hard to develop and modernize the estate. In recent years, the wines produced here have been consistently delicious, with a style that is always very easy to drink and elegant.
