Winemaker Description

Deep ruby color. Dark and rich on the nose, with intense berry and Indian spices. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and silky tannin structure. Balanced and polished. Winery Notes Classified Cru Bourgeois in 1932, Chteau Picard, in the heart of the village of Saint-Estphe, has always been considered one of the best of this appellation.

The last of the properties acquired by Mhler-Besse (1997), this 8 hectares estate was chosen for its development potential and its average surface area, allowing complete control of its production. Since the acquisition of Chteau Picard, Mhler-Besse, who has renovated the Napoleon III-style cellars, has endowed the property with an efficient wine-making tool, with entry of the harvest by gravity.

Its exceptional terroir with a clayey tendency, characteristic of Saint-Estphe, presents soils loaded with calcified remains of cockles and sea urchins. This vineyard with a high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon produces finely smoked and spicy wines of very good class. Blend : 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot
