RATINGS

91Wine Enthusiast

There are certainly elements of new wood here, while the fruit gives sweetness and ripeness. The tannins hover between high toast and ripe Cabernet. To finish, there is ripe, black and juicy fruit.

90James Suckling

Plums, meat and spices on the nose. Full body, with sweet fruit and soft tannins. Juicy finish.

16.5Jancis Robinson

Quite rich and sweet with an undertow of stoniness and tannin. A good, typical St-Estèphe. Excellent length.

REGION

France, Bordeaux, St.-Estephe

Saint-Estèphe is in the northern Médoc, on the left bank of the Gironde River. Although it has no First Growth estates, its five Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Growth châteaux are notable, and, in recent decades, have become favorites with reviewers and consumers. Some reviewers also note that the appellation is today making excellent Cru Bourgeois wines, which frequently offer good value. There are 3,404 acres of vineyards and a variety of soil types, from gravelly soil to soil with significant sand or clay. The two Second Growth Châteaux in St.-Estephe are Cos d’Estournel and Montrose. The Third Growth Calon-Ségur is widely admired. The principal grapes grown are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
