Chateau Tour de Bessan 2017

- Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, Lisa Perrotti-Brown: "Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Tour de Bessan gives up vague scents of baked blackcurrants, stewed plums and boysenberries plus wafts of garrigue and tilled soil. Medium-bodied, soft and uncomplicated, it has a soft texture and pleasant spiciness to the finish."

- 91-93 Punkte WINE ENTHUSIAST, Roger Voss: "Barrel Sample. A finely crafted wine from an estate owned by a member of the Lurton family. It is dense, pure with great black-currant fruit and layers of firm tannins. Developing well, the wine should be ready to drink from 2023."

- VINOUS, Antonio Galloni: "The 2017 La Tour de Bessan is a pretty wine graced with floral aromatics and soft red berry fruit, all done in a mid-weight style that is quite appealing. The 2017 is gracious and understated, just as it was from barrel. Drink it over the next handful of years."

- 90 Punkte FALSTAFF, Peter Moser: "Mittleres Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, breitere Randaufhellung, zart nach kandierten Orangenzesten, frische Kirschen, rotbeeriger Touch, zart nach Ribisel. Schlank, zartes Cassis, lebendig strukturiert, mineralisch, feine Fruchtsüße, zitroniger, animierender Speisenbegleiter."

- 91 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: "Some lightly spicy aromas here with a fresh red-berry core and cedary oak. The palate has a smooth, tangy red-plum and berry core with soft, easy tannins. Nicely balanced. Drink or hold."
