Haut-Medoc A/C

Haut-Médoc is one of Bordeaux's most prestigious appellations, located on the left bank of the Gironde estuary and home to many of the region's most famous châteaux. Wines from Haut-Médoc are based primarily on Cabernet Sauvignon, typically blended with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and small amounts of Petit Verdot, producing structured, age-worthy reds with notes of blackcurrant, cedar, graphite, and gentle tannins. The appellation covers a large area within the Médoc, encompassing well-known communes such as Margaux, Saint-Julien, Pauillac, and Saint-Estèphe, as well as a broader zone of vineyards producing excellent value alternatives to the grand cru classé wines of those communes. Haut-Médoc wines are known for offering classic Bordeaux character — restrained fruit, firm structure, and savoury complexity — often at more accessible prices than the most famous appellations. Our Haut-Médoc collection features a selection of these classic Bordeaux reds, ideal for those who love the structured, cedar-and-blackcurrant style of left-bank Bordeaux. These wines are perfect with roast lamb, beef, and other rich, hearty dishes, and many will reward a few years of cellaring.
