France → Bordeaux → Left Bank → St. Julien
The roughly 900-hectare-small Saint-Julien appellation is one of the most renowned in the Médoc. Although it has no Premier Cru, it impresses with strong 2èmes, 3èmes and 4èmes Crus. The legendary Léoville estates — once a single property — are today three top châteaux. Since the 1980s the region has stood for consistent quality. We appreciate its subtlety and balance, for example in Léoville-Las Cases, Léoville-Poyferré and Talbot.
