Full-bodied, concentrated and wonderfully complex, the palate is just revealing its true potential, with tightly wound layers of black fruits and earthy notions bound by a solid frame of firm, grainy tannins and finishing with epic persistence.

"The Maharajah of Saint-Estephe, Louis Gaspard d’Estournel, the founder of the estate, was filled with curiosity about and openness to the world around him. His pursuit of new markets led him to Asia, where British officers stationed in India would begin savoring his wine as early as 1838.

This interest in overseas markets fueled a passion for faraway places that would serve as inspiration for the singular architecture of his estate, a sumptuous palace dedicated to wine, topped with monumental pagodas. Louis Gaspard d’Estournel would remain an enigmatic and original figure amongst his peers. This, coupled with his obsession for the foreign and the exotic, would earn him the nickname of Maharajah of Saint-Estephe."
