Château Saint-Hilaire

AOC Medoc Red

The vineyard of Château Saint-Hilaire was created in 1982 in Jau Dignac Loirac, on deep, gravel soils overlooking the Gironde Estuary. Adrien Uijttewaal gradually expanded the estate to the neighbouring village of Queyrac, with its terroir of gravelly knolls and clay subsoil, by steadily planting new vines and the acquisition of vines of around 30 years in age. This excellent terroir yields wines with all the finesse and elegance typical of the Médoc appellation and which have been made on the estate, in a modern winemaking facility, only since 1995. Château Saint-Hilaire became a Cru Bourgeois with the revision of the classification in 2003.

    TASTING NOTES

    Clad in an elegant, deep red, this wine is displays intense, fresh red and black fruit aromas set off by elegant oak – the result of ageing in excellent quality oak barrels. The ample, powerful palate supported by perfectly ripe, smooth tannins possesses outstanding fruitiness with creamy extract that makes the finish go on and on.
