Chateau Saint Hilaire Medoc 75cl 2015

Since 1995, Chateau Saint Hilaire has been selecting the grapes only from its finest terroirs, located on the edge of the Gironde estuary, on deep gravelly soils and a heavy clay subsoil. Patience and precision are the keywords characterizing the production of this wine. The aim is to extract only the finest aromas and tannins from the grapes which are then aged for twelve months in French oak barrels. Thus, this wine presents a powerful bouquet with complex and balanced aromas that are going to age well.

A unique terroir: the Médoc enjoys a moderate, warm and damp climate. A peninsula on the 45th parallel, it benefits from the natural protection of the Atlantic Ocean to the West and the Gironde estuary to the East. This microclimate combined with the soils formed by periods of glaciations over thousands of years, gives a unique geology: beautiful outcrops, bathed by sun with limited temperature variations, giving birth to wines with some of the greatest ageing potential in the world.

Traditional vinification, each parcel is vinified separately and the fermentations are carried out in inox vats. Then, the wine is aged for twelve months in French oak barrels (40% new barrels).
