TOUR OF TERMS SAINT ESTEPHE 2016
GRAPES: 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot
Château TOUR DES TERMES owes its name to an old tower located on a plot called "les Termes". The origin of this tower dates back to the Gallo-Roman era where the remains of boat moorings dating from this period favor the hypothesis of the presence of an old lighthouse at this location, thus marking the entrance to a front -port of the ancient Gallo-Roman city BRION located a few kilometers away. The name "of the Terms" would mean "the end of the lands". But the Château Tour des Termes is first and foremost the story of an old Médoc family who little by little, over the generations, has created this estate. As early as 1678, old parchments mention a certain ANNEY, a plowman in the town of POTENSAC in the Médoc. In 1876, his great-grandson became a winegrower in Saint-Estèphe then from generation to generation the estate grew until 1938 when Pierre ANNEY acquired the Château Tour des Termes with its old tower and a very beautiful smallholding in SaintCorbian where he settled permanently to produce his wine under the name of Tour des Termes. In 1979, his son Jean and his grandson Christophe perpetuated the family tradition by developing the vineyard and making significant investments in buildings and equipment as well as major plot selection efforts. Today, Château Tour des Termes is one of the best Crus Bourgeois of the appellation.

CHATEAU HAUT MARBUZET 2016
Cru bourgeois Saint Estèphe Rouge
Grapes 50% Merlot 40% Cabernet Sauvignon 10% Cabernet Franc
First property of Sylvestre Fatin, the vineyards of Marbuzet are bought in 1818 by a family of Irish origin, the Mac Carthy. The estate's unity does not stand up to the many succession conflicts and in 1848 the Poissonnier family buys a lot of 7 hectares, the historic heart of the Haut-Marbuzet vineyard. For more than a hundred years the fishmonger manage the estate without it really emerges. Its rise is due to the Duboscq family and the first of them, Hervé Duboscq who acquires the property in 1952. An outstanding wine grower and a wise manager, he only needs a few years to bring the Château out of anonymity. In 1962 his son, Henri, joins the family business. Together, they buy neighboring parcels that used to belong to the Mac Carthy estate. Henri Duboscq now manages the estate with the same high standards of quality that makes Château Haut-Marbuzet one of Saint-Estèphe's greatest vintages.
Comments
The Haut-Marbuzet vineyard is scattered over some of the most beautiful reliefs of Saint-Estèphe. Slightly inclined, it enjoys an ideal exposure facing the Gironde. The main plot rests on a beautiful hilltop of deep gravel which ensures optimum drainage. The grape variety includes a high proportion of Merlot for the appellation. The wine draws from it an exceptional mellowness which distinguishes it from most of the wines of the appellation. Château Haut-Marbuzet is vinified in the traditional way. Aged in new barrels for 18 months, it develops a woody texture that is both unctuous and beautifully integrated with spice. A dense and distinguished fruit is relayed by beautiful ripe tannins. Charming and sensual in its youth, the wine gets closer to its terroir over time to display great finesse. This Cru Bourgeois certainly deserves to be among the elite of the Crus Classés.
