Style: Left Bank Bordeaux from the much-celebrated 2015 vintage! Saint-Estephe is the northernmost of the Médoc’s major appellations, and in the past it had a reputation for producing hearty red wines with sturdy structures and firm tannins. This resulted in an increase of Merlot plantings over the years. La Haye is planted to 45% each Cab Sauvignon and Merlot, lending the wine a fresh, polished ripeness to complement its signature, Saint-Estephe structure.
Story: Back in the day, the property served King Henri II and Diane de Poitiers as their hunting lodge. Despite his marriage to Catherine de Medici, the lodge and surrounding hills served as a romantic getaway for Henri and Diane. The HD royal monogram is engraved at the entrance of the château as well as depicted on the wines’ labels. A decade ago, after running in the Marathon du Médoc, Belgian Chris Cardon purchased the property and made the investments to optimize the quality of the wines without compromising their sense of place.
Pairings: For good reason, red wines from Bordeaux’s Left Bank are popular choices to pair with hearty red meat dishes such as lamb chops and medium rare rib eye steaks. This pairs well with them, of course, but it also works well with hearty stews.
