Saint-Julien

Nestled between Pauillac and Margaux, the wines of Saint Julien are toned down in power compared to the robust produce of Pauillac while slightly less robust than those of Saint-Estephe. Saint Julien wines are balanced and incredibly aromatic. This is a product of the unique terroir – a layer of gravel that forces the roots of the vines to sink deeper to find nutrients, while also retaining heat to protect against the Oceanic climate.
