Footprint, parcels and their split are measured on the Compagnie Médocaine’s own parcel survey; elevation, slope and aspect on the Mapbox terrain-rgb digital terrain model, derived from IGN’s RGE ALTI over France. Compare with the blend on the technical sheet, at the top of the page: the two answer different questions.
The origins of the vineyard go back to the 19th century, and it has belonged to the same family ever since. It lies on the eastern slopes of Saint-Emilion and is thus ideally situated. The clay soil is well suited to producing a fruity, expressive wine with a fine texture on the palate.
