Marquis de Saint-Estèphe – Saint-Estèphe (EXPORT)
Saint-Estèphe is one of the largest communal appellations of the Médoc, with a surface area of 1370 hectares. The vineyard is planted on well-drained gravel outcrops which protect the vines from excessive humidity. The sub soil, made up of clay and limestone, gives the wines their unique personality. Saint-Estèphe wines are tannic, deep and powerful and with age they take on body, fruitiness and delicacy.
Native to the Médoc and more particularly to St Estèphe, Marquis de St Estèphe is a historic cuvée from the left bank of the Bordeaux vineyard.
