AOC Médoc wines awarded at the Gilbert & Gaillard International Challenge

A.O.C./A.O.P.

AC Médoc is situated in the northern part of Médoc, around the towns and villages north of Saint-Seurin-de-Cadourne. Interspersed amongst the calcareous clay soils are less frequent occurrences of gravel. The temperate climate is strongly defined by the Atlantic ocean and the nearby estuary. The wines are made traditionally at controlled temperatures. They are matured for varying periods of time either under oak or in tanks. Wines styles: AC Médoc is a red-wine only appellation. The wines display a brilliant cherry-red hue. On both the nose and the palate they have distinctive fruit aromas (blackcurrant, red fruit). These superbly round, delicate, supple wines tend to mature well. They can be enjoyed from an early age and served with grilled sirloin steak, cooked cold meats and cheeses.

Grape varieties: Vins rouges : Cabernet-sauvignon, Cabernet franc, merlot, malbec, petit verdot, carmenère

Climate-fit vines: How South African producers are planning for a drought-resilient future
The irony of our time is that we believe it's us who are evolving – integrating AI, refining systems, improving what exists. Yet nature's intelligence runs deeper, and the vine has been perfecting survival far longer than we've been trying to improve it.
