Haut
Medoc
Haut-Médoc is
actually south of the the Médoc region.
5 Grands Crus Classés (Great Growths)
are based in Haut-Médoc. All the others
are in the adjacent and smaller in size appellations: Pauillac, Margaux, Saint
Julien, Saint
Estèphe.
Haut-Médoc -
such as in Médoc -
is a land of red wine. They are generous, not
too powerful red wines with a delicate bouquet
of vanilla and black fruits.
