About Chateau Laroque : Château Laroque, with its mighty 12th-century tower, is an imposing feature in the Saint-Emilion area.

Built on a plateau of limestone rock, from which the estate took its name, this outstanding location has been owned by several families, each one of them making their contribution and imparting an added touch of soul to the place.

An incredibly elegant second wine!!!

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.
