Saint-Estephe Wine

Saint-Estephe sits just above Pauillac wines to the south, yet its terroir differs markedly despite the close proximity. A higher proportion of clay within its soils allows for greater water retention, resulting in wines of density, structure and often a firmer tannic backbone.

This combination of clay and gravel produces wines that can appear more austere in youth, yet reward patience with depth and complexity. Saint-Estephe remains one of the defining appellations within the Bordeaux wine region, known for its strength, character and ageing potential.
