Château Tour Calon
Château Tour Calon sits in Montagne-Saint-Émilion, the northernmost appellation of the Libournais plateau. The vineyard works the right-bank terroir characteristic of the region—clay and limestone soils that favor Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon in structured, age-worthy blends. The Montagne-Saint-Émilion Classic, a Cabernet Sauvignon–led cuvée, represents the estate's core expression, while Premier des Tours Montagne-Saint-Émilion shifts the balance toward Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Both wines have drawn assessment from Decanter and Wine Spectator. The appellation's cooler microclimate and elevated position produce wines with firm tannin and mineral precision—hallmarks of Montagne's distinction within the broader Saint-Émilion classification.
