A limited release from the finest vineyard parcels
- Crafted from the estate's oldest vines, this Cabernet Sauvignon represents the pinnacle of La Tour de By's selection. The mature fruit delivers concentrated flavours whilst maintaining the restraint and elegance that define the finest Médoc expressions.
- The wine achieves a harmonious balance between power and refinement. Structured yet approachable, it demonstrates the architectural precision that characterises the Left Bank's greatest terroirs, with a framework built to age gracefully.
- Cabernet Sauvignon, the noble Bordeaux variety, brings its characteristic depth and complexity. This vintage showcases the grape's capacity for both richness and saline minerality, reflecting La Tour de By's position on the Gironde estuary.

Breeding
New French oak barrels for 18 months
On the eye
Deep garnet-purple, almost black at the core, with a luminous rim suggesting maturity and complexity.
On the nose
The bouquet unfolds with layered spice and subtle oak influence, revealing the wine's inherent complexity. Aromas of cassis and graphite emerge, underpinned by the saline character of the terroir.
In the mouth
Tightly woven tannins of considerable nobility provide the structural backbone. The palate is linear and architecturally precise, with a mineral spine that carries through to a persistent finish. This is a wine of substance and breeding.
La Tour de By's Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterclass in Médoc restraint. It eschews easy appeal in favour of structure and integrity. The estuarine salinity runs throughout, marking this as a wine for those who appreciate genuine complexity. Pair with game or beef of character; alternatively, its mineral precision complements dark chocolate preparations with surprising elegance.
