Saint-Estèphe

St Estèphe is the northernmost of the most important communes of the Médoc.

Of all Médoc wines, those of Saint-Estèphe undoubtedly exhibit the most pronouces distinctiveness: a robust framework which does not exclude a  certain finesse, an ample tannic structure which blends harmoniously with an aromatic characterized by touches of red fruit and spice.

The best châteaux in the south of the commune have the deepest soil and the thickest gravel. Cos d'Estournel has an exceptional terroir with its vineyards being located on a south-facing ridge of gravel with excellent drainage.
