HAUT MEDOC
The perfect embodiment of a Cru Bourgeois, Château Lestage Simon, located at Saint-Seurin-de-Cadourne, beside the great vineyard of Saint-Estèphe, profits from an outstanding terroir, complex and diverse, and whose quintessence is the basis of the chateau's wines. The situation of the vines varies considerably: some grapes derive from sandy soils along the riverbank, others from limestone and clay-limestone soils further inland. The Château produces a supple Haut-Médoc, whose structure, richness and balance presage an excellent cellar potential.
