Story


A small hill district made famous by Chateau Chasse-Spleen, the terrior here is considered to be among the finest in the Medoc, as its fine gravel over Garrone clay is very draining. Chateau Lestage Darquier makes just one wine and concentrates every effort towards creating a balanced and very elegant wine that is classic of their small sub-climate and terroir.

Since 2004, the husband and wife team has practiced La "Protection Raisonnee du Vignoble" in collaboration with the Chamber of Agriculture of the Gironde. Certified "Terra Vitis" means sustainable winemaking practices that engage the whole environment, while operating under complete transparency in regards to their growing and winemaking decisions.
