Wine of France. Aged in french oak barrels.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. This Chateau is classified ?Cru Bourgeois? since 2003, and was awarded the ?Cru bourgeois superieur? classification in 2018 (only 14 estates have this certification in the Medoc AOC) The consultant is Mr. Eric Boissenot, one of the world's most famous consulting oenologists who works with many of the top estates in the Médoc, among them Latour, Lafite-Rothschild, Margaux, Mouton-Rothschild, Palmer, Pichon Comtesse, Pichon Baron, Ducru-Beaucaillou, Léoville Barton? 92/100 decanter on both 2015 and 2016 vintages Sustainable viticulture is carried out, with Terra Vitis certification.
