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 50 years old for the Château Tour Saint-Fort.
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.
