Château Chapelle d'Aliénor

€22.99

  • Country: France

  • Region: Bordeaux

  • Alcohol: 14%

Crafted by the Malet Roquefort family of Château La Gaffelière, Château Chapelle d’Aliénor 2020 is a superb Bordeaux Supérieur that overdelivers on every level. Made primarily from Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc, it showcases ripe red and black fruit aromas — cherry, plum, and blackberry — with hints of spice and subtle oak influence.

The palate is silky and vibrant, offering layers of juicy fruit, fine tannins, and refreshing acidity that give balance and poise. Aged partly in French oak for added texture, it captures both richness and elegance, with a finish that lingers on notes of cassis and soft vanilla. Approachable now yet capable of ageing gracefully for up to a decade, this is a refined, modern Bordeaux offering outstanding value from one of Saint-Émilion’s great winemaking families.

Before 1876, La Tour de By was called La Roque de By. The vine has been cultivated there for several centuries. Pierre Tizon, Lord of the Fief of By was the owner in 1599.

The Château remained in the family until 1725, when it fell to the Comte de Gramont, then to Monsieur de Lignac and, in 1860, to Monsieur Alfred Rubichon who built the current Château La Tour de By in 1876, which overlooks the Gironde. It was then bought by Mr. Julien Damoy who died there in 1942.
