Located in an idyllic terroir, the vineyard's soil is exceptional. A layer of Quaternary gravel ensures excellent drainage and imparts unique mineral nuances to the wines. Beneath the gravel, a predominant Tertiary clay sub-soil adds depth and complexity to the vines. At the peak of the gravel, a delicate layer of lacustrine clay further enriches the vineyard's diversity, resulting in wines of unmatched character.

The carefully cultivated grape varieties showcase winemaking artistry: 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot. These meticulously tended vines, averaging 22 years old, yield fruit of exceptional quality.

Dedicated to preserving the essence of the terroir, the estate follows a traditional yet meticulous winemaking approach. Double Guyot training ensures vine health and optimal yields. During harvest, grapes are delicately handpicked and sorted, with only the finest ones used for vinification. Vinification takes place in state-of-the-art stainless-steel tanks, allowing precise fermentation control. Maceration lasts 18 to 21 days, extracting rich flavors and tannins defining the wine's personality. The ageing process spans 18 to 20 months, with 30% new oak barrels contributing structure and subtle oak influence, enhancing overall complexity.

To achieve impeccable finesse, the wine undergoes traditional fining with egg whites. This dedication culminates in an annual production of around 80,000 bottles, each a testament to Château Saint-Estèphe's unwavering commitment to crafting exceptional wines.
