The pride of Peter Kwok’s Vignobles K group is this beautiful St Emillion estate. With over 1.5 KM of rebuilt stone terracing, the vineyard is truly beautiful and a new state of the art winery is producing some of the best wine consistently in St Emillion. This vineyard will never be at this price again so get it while you can.

The 2014 Tour Saint-Christophe comes from Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes, the lieu-dit Cassevert, where proprietor Peter Kwok has built some quite startling terraces on the slope to improve the terroir (apparently recruited from Spain as only they possess the technical know-how). My, what a Saint Emilion this is. It has a very well-defined bouquet with crisp, pure mineral-rich red and black fruit. I like the focus here; there is an intention to perform at the top level that comes through where it matters—in the glass. The palate is silky smooth with a fine line of acidity, layers of red cherry and blueberry fruit, leading to a detailed and very satisfying, long finish. This 2014 serves notice of a new, bright kid on the block.
