Collectie: AOC SAINT-JULIEN

The AOC Saint-Julien is located in the geographical center of the Médoc between Pauillac and Margaux. It is the smallest appellation of the Médoc in terms of surface area since it represents only 910 ha of vines (i.e. 6% of the Médoc vineyard).

The vineyard produces 41,000 hl of red wine each year. Like that of Pauillac, the vineyard of Saint-Julien is quite exceptional. It is mainly based on soils of gravel, marl and pebbles. This terroir is particularly suited to Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec.

Despite its small surface area, Saint-Julien has eleven classified growths, which represents 80% of the AOC. Among them, the famous Château Léoville Las Cases or the Châteaux Beychevelle, Talbot, Ducru-Beaucaillou. Saint-Julien wines have a remarkable aptitude for aging. At the same time harmonious, powerful and fine, the Saint-Julien wines have a fleshy, ample, magnificently structured and elegantly balanced mouth. The finish is long, spicy and fruity.
