Saint-Estèphe is the northernmost of the major appellations in the Médoc, Bordeaux, covering around 1,200 hectares of vineyards. It is renowned for producing age-worthy, full-bodied red wines with structure, depth, and complexity. Key grape varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, along with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
The vineyards benefit from the cooling influence of the Gironde estuary and the Atlantic Ocean, while gravelly and limestone-rich soils provide excellent conditions for growing long-lived, spicy wines.
Among the most prestigious estates are Château Cos d’Estournel, famous for its powerful, exotic-style wines, and Château Phélan Ségur, known for its refined character, depth, and outstanding value.
A red wine from Saint-Estèphe typically shows its best after 8 to 20 years of aging, revealing elegance, structure, and a distinct Bordeaux identity.
