The Haut-Médoc appellation is located in the southern part of the Médoc appellation, on the left bank, and covers more than 4,500 hectares. The soils here are mainly composed of gravel and clay, which are very well suited to Merlot (50% of the vineyard) and Cabernet Sauvignon (43%). The climate is oceanic, resulting in little significant temperature variation throughout the year. The wines produced are all red and have excellent aging potential. They generally display remarkable power, and it is preferable to taste them only after a few years of cellaring so they can reveal their best qualities.
