Saint-Estèphe, the northernmost of the big
Municipal appellations in Médoc, Bordeaux, cover around 1214 hectares of vineyards.
Known for its elegant, dense and well-ripening red wines, dominates here
Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
The vineyards benefit from the tempering influence of Gironde and the
Atlantic Ocean, which together with the gravelly and calcareous soils
creates ideal growing conditions. The wines are characterized by their
Subtleness and complex structure and develop their class after 8 to
20 years of maturity.
