Region
Haut-Medoc is the large southern section of the greater Medoc district of Bordeaux in south-western France and also the name of the appellation that covers the vineyards here. It accounts for two-thirds of the Medoc peninsula and produces more fine wine per acre than almost anywhere else in the world.
Producer
A well-loved and consistently fine estate, located between Margaux and Saint-Julien, on the gravelly Medoc plateau looking out over the Gironde Estuary. This Mansart style chateaux was built in 1824, and has had twelve owners since then! The vineyard is predominantly planted with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with small quantities of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot which combine to give typically vigorous blackcurrant, plum and spice scented wine with firm yet supple tannins.
Tasting Notes
A consistently fine estate which stands on the gravelly Médoc plane looking out over the Gironde. The vineyard is predominantly planted with Cabernet Sauvignon 65% and Merlot 30%, combining to give typically vigorous blackcurrant, plum and spice scented wine with firm yet supple tannins.
Food
Great with game or Beef Wellington.
