The Story

I originate from the storied vineyards of Saint-Estèphe, on Bordeaux’s famed left bank, where gravel and clay soils lend both structure and nuance to red blends. Here, Cabernet Sauvignon leads with backbone, Merlot brings softness, and a touch of Petit Verdot adds color and spice. Domaine de la Ronceray crafts me in the classic Médoc tradition, balanced and rich yet refined — a wine that honours its heritage with a modern sensibility. Saint-Estèphe’s wines are known for their bold concentration, refined tannins, and notes of dark fruit and earth that age gracefully over time. 

Why You’ll Love Me

I greet you with aromas of blackcurrant, tobacco leaf, and a hint of cedar, followed by deeper notes of spice and crushed stone. On the palate, I’m full-bodied with sleek, silky tannins and juicy dark fruit that harmonize with savory depth. My finish is structured and lingering, with echoes of ripe plum and subtle mineral accents — a wine that brings both complexity and warmth to the table. Whether paired with rich fare or savored slowly on my own, I’m a thoughtful expression of Bordeaux’s noble craft.
