At Chateau Tour de By this great property is run by two Frédéric Le Clerc (ex Ecole Polytechnique) and Benjamin Richer des Forges. They bought a further 12 hectares of superb land to add to their existing 55 hectares. The average age of the vines is well over 40 years. An impressive temperature-controlled storage cellar has been built and they are in the process of building a totally new temperature-controlled chai. The blend comprises 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. It is fermented in traditional wooden vats in a temperature-controlled chai, with a 4-week cuvaison. The wine is aged for 16 months in new to 3-year-old barriques.
