AOC Lussac-Saint-Emilion
Another cuvée from the Barbe Blanche estate, Château Tour de Ségur also benefits from a remarkable terroir. Crafted on the fruit, with great delicacy throughout the winemaking process, it is a charming, fresh and precise wine. Its expressive nose of ripe strawberries and red berries with a hint of vanilla, combined with its fine tannins, make it very approachable.
