Comment

Château Haut-l’Artigue is the second wine of Château d’Eyran, made from the youngest vines. The first traces of Château d'Eyran date back to 1317. Rebuilt on the gravelly coast of Mont d'Eyran, it entered the Seze family in 1796 who still own it today. Since 1980, the management of the vineyard has been carried out by Stéphane and Brigitte Savigneux, joined in 2015 by their son Charles. Part of a thoughtful approach to environmental quality, the 25-hectare vineyard is managed with one goal: respect for the terroir. Built in 2017, its modern cellar made from traditional materials subtly combines functionality and aesthetics and offers the wines of Château d'Eyran an exceptional setting.

Tasting

Château Haut-L'Artigue will surprise you with its slow taste evolution, from notes of black fruits to scents of vanilla, caramel and hazelnut highlighted by silky tannins. Note the finish, the latter offers a nice length and a certain intensity.
