"in 2005, the transmission was established. marc pagès called the eldest of his grandsons, frédéric le clerc, a polytechnician by training and a hydraulic and forestry engineer, to his side. marc pagès passed away on 4 july 2007... too soon. he remains for all his family and friends an example of integrity, kindness, courage, dynamism and loyalty. born in 1924 in tunisia, he always loved nature and the land of this country where his family had lived for three generations? this brave man was even decorated with the croix de guerre and the military medal during the second world war. as a member of the 2nd armoured division under general leclerc, his tank ""oran"" was the second to enter strasbourg... in 2009, the last of his grandsons, benjamin richer de forges, joined his cousin frédéric. fifth generation in winemaking since tunisia and third at the helm of château la tour de by, the two have since committed themselves to perpetuating the tradition of quality and typicity of the wines of the nord-médoc region that prevailed with their grandfather. as a tribute to their grandfather, they decided to update the famous prestige cuvée made by himself and his friend emile peynaud from the exceptional 1982 vintage. they renamed it ""héritage marc pagès"". with a beautiful dark ruby colour, this wine has a very elegant nose of blueberries, blackberries accompanied by a beautiful empyreumatic palette. the palate is dense, concentrated and fresh and its tense tannic structure gives this wine a beautiful length. 1988 is considered a great vintage in the médoc. the wine is now ready to drink."
