Benjamin Richer de Forges

The Essentials At Château La Tour de By in Bégadan, France, the wine and the family name remain bound to the same address. Médoc gives the work its frame, and Benjamin Richer de Forges’s role sits inside that regional discipline, where the château’s bottles carry the public face of a private inheritance. A straightforward description of one wine makes that position clear: “For us, it's a very good wine, very ready to be drunk and very tasting to share with friends during Christmas time.” The point is not ceremony but use. The wine is spoken of as something opened at the table, in company, with the emphasis on readiness and sharing rather than distance. Continuity is the other craft here. Benjamin Richer de Forges frames the work as something carried forward with his cousin Frédéric, from Marc Pagès’s generation into theirs. Château La Tour de By reads, in that account, as an estate maintained through family responsibility as much as through production.
