Château Saint-Hilaire, Médoc, 2020 | Cru Bourgeois Superieur

STORY BEHIND THE LABEL

In the 1980s, Dutch farmer Adrien Uijttewaal relocated to the Médoc, acquiring a 30-year-old vineyard alongside a 19th-century mansion. Fittingly, the estate had originally been built by a family of Dutch engineers who arrived in the 17th century to drain the Médoc marshes. While the harvests were initially vinified at a local cooperative, Uijttewaal began making the wine directly at the estate starting with the 1995 vintage. Since 2003, the property has proudly held Cru Bourgeois status.
