Growing Conditions
The sub-soils of Château Tour Saint-Fort’s 14-hectare vineyard are 80% clay over what is referred to as Saint-Estèphe limestone. This is what gives it its distinctive identity and unique features. The remaining 20% are gravelly and clay-gravel soils located in two other parts of the village, near the chateau.
On average, the vines are over 20 years old for the Baron D'Estours.
Harvest
At harvest time, each vineyard plot is harvested and vinified separately to fully preserve the identity and quality of each grape variety and terroir.
