Comment

The Bruno Saintout vineyards, family property for more than three centuries, include three distinct fields: the Domaine de Cartujac in Saint-Laurent-Médoc, the Château du Perier in Saint-Christoly-Médoc, and the Château de la Bridane in Saint-Julien-Beychevelle. The latter is made up of 15 hectares of Graves west of the appellation overlooking the estuary and the great neighboring wines. It takes its name from that of the parish priest of Reignac (former name of the village of Saint-Julien) during the French Revolution. In 2020, 75% of Bruno Saintout vineyards were certified by an environmental approach (Qualenvi, HVE), with a 100% target.

Tasting

Ruby color dress. Vanilla nose spicy with notes of flowers. Well structured body, very soft, dry, high acidity. Excellent balance. Black berries at the palace with a beautiful finish.
