Château Tour des Termes

Saint-Estèphe Bordeaux with structure and depth from the Médoc's northern edge.

Château Tour des Termes sits in Saint-Estèphe, the northernmost appellation of the Médoc, where gravelly soils and a maritime climate shape wines of structure and depth. The estate produces two principal cuvées. Preface de Tour des Termes blends Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon into a wine that has drawn assessment from Wine Advocate, Decanter, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast. The Saint-Estèphe itself weaves Petit Verdot, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc—a composition typical of the appellation's darker, more tannic character. Saint-Estèphe as a region favors power over polish; its wines tend toward the muscular and age-worthy. Both cuvées from this address reflect that sensibility: serious Bordeaux built for the cellar.
