Château la Tour de By

Vines have been cultivated here for several centuries. Acquired in 1965, by Mr. Pagès and two of his partners, they joined forces with Professor Emile Peynaud, the Château's first consulting oenologist. Since 2005, Frédéric le Clerc, grandson of Mr. Pagès, and his cousin Benjamin Richer de Forges have strived to perpetuate the tradition of quality and typicity of Nord-Médoc wines.
