Wine of the Week: Chateau la Tour de By 2004 Posted by Andrew Chapman in Wine of the Week, 8:49am 18/01/2010. Quite the prettiest location in Bordeaux, Chateau la Tour de By lies in the Northern Médoc where the vineyards are overlooked by the impressive folly - at the top of which you can survey a great stretch of the Gironde estuary.
When we visited Bordeaux in November '09 (see our current Bordeaux offer) we decided the 2004 was too good to leave behind, exhibiting as it does bold well structured currant and light mint flavours - making it the perfect accompaniment to the Sunday lunch lover who dreams of nothing better than a few slices of prime rare, roast beef (preferably fore-rib!) and a dollop of creamy horseradish sauce. In fact, that's just what we did this last Sunday - and it's when the picture to the left was taken. So, Sunday lunch lovers everywhere, get your luncheon Claret here. ^ Back to top
