Chateau la tour de by covers an area of 94 hectares planted with 60% cabernet sauvignon, 35% merlot and 5% petit verdot. haut médoc is located upstream from the gironde estuary. Its gravelly soils encourage the cultivation of Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines are concentrated and tannic, requiring at least 6 months of ageing. When young, the nose offers aromas of red and black fruits, evolving towards spices and vanilla to a greater or lesser extent with ageing. Haut Médocs are great wines for laying down. The 1979 vintage produced a fine harvest, both in terms of quality and quantity. The wines are harmonious, balanced and fruity. With good ageing potential, the great wines are magnificent today. Long underestimated, this vintage remains excellent value for money.
