Château Tour Bayard
On the clay‑and‑limestone slopes of Montagne‑Saint‑Émilion in the Libournais, Château Tour Bayard tells a modern Bordeaux story. Founded in 1955 by the Richard family, the estate takes its name from a landmark stone tower and the lieu‑dit Bayard—a reminder that even recent domaines can be rooted in place.
In the vineyard, a lutte raisonnée approach keeps the focus on healthy soils and measured yields. Merlot sits at the core, while Cabernet Franc brings lift and spice. Parcels are harvested and vinified separately to capture the contrast between cooler limestone seams and warmer clay pockets; élevage in oak barriques adds polish without masking the line.
The result is Montagne‑Saint‑Émilion with quiet confidence: crafted, terroir‑driven and defined by structure more than spectacle.Château Tour Bayard
