Saint Estèphe, a French appellation that belongs to the wine district of Médoc, which in turn belongs to the wine region of Bordeaux. Of the 61 classified chateaux (see 1855 Classification) belong 5 to the appellation. Of those 5, 2 are classified as Deuxièmes Crus (Château Cos d'Estournel and Château Montrose), 1 as Troisièmes Crus (Château Calon-Ségur), 1 as Quatrièmes Crus (Château Lafon-Rochet) and 1 as Cinquièmes Crus (Château Cos Labory). The appellation has 1,255 ha. The average yield is 44 hl/ha. Saint Estèphe’s wines are considered to be the most tannin-rich and to have the slowest development in Haut-Médoc. The best vineyards in the appellation are on gravel. Regardless of what was written before, during the very dry and hot years, the vineyards planted on clay give much better vintages than those planted on gravel. This is because the dense clay keeps water longer in its pores during the dry and hot years than the high porous gravel. (2012-10)
