St.-Estèphe, the northernmost of four important villages in the Haut-Médoc district of Bordeaux, produces red wines known for their deep color and powerful, robust character. Made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with Merlot and lesser amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, St.-Estèphe wines have full flavors and firm structure, develop great aromatic complexity, and age extremely well. These powerful and intense wines pair wonderfully with grilled steaks, lamb, and game dishes.
