The red wines produced at this chateau must not be confounded with the celebrated white wine of the Sauternais region produced by the Chateau La Tour Blanche. As in the case of the former wine, this wine is named by reason of a tower built separate from the chateau and surmounted by a spherical dome. The wines of the Chateau La Tour are also the first growths, ranking in the same category with the two wines already mentioned. They enjoy a universal reputation of excellence and they are especially sought after by the English and the Germans. As in the case of the other wines, they have universally received the highest rewards at the expositions at which they have been exhibited. The vineyards of the Chateau La Tour are not so large as those of the Chateau Margaux and Chateau Lafite, and produce about 100 tuns of wine of the first class, and 25 tuns of wine of the second class. The proprietors of this vineyard are Messrs. de Flers, de Beaumont and de Courtivron.
