Château Tour des Termes is a family-owned estate that has steadily built a reputation for producing some of the most characterful wines in Saint-Estèphe. The 2018 vintage captures both the richness of the year and the appellation’s trademark structure. The vineyard’s gravel and clay-limestone soils, combined with a blend dominated by Merlot and complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, deliver a wine of depth, balance, and refinement.

Deep ruby in colour, the 2018 offers aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and blackberry interwoven with notes of cedar, tobacco, and a touch of spice. The palate is full-bodied yet supple, with ripe fruit framed by polished tannins and a lingering, savoury finish. Generous and expressive, it’s a superb example of modern Saint-Estèphe winemaking — powerful yet graceful, and capable of maturing beautifully over the next 10–15 years.
