Local legend suggests the domain served as a clandestine meeting place for King Henri II and Diane de Poitiers; their interlaced monogram, \"H\" and \"D,\" remains engraved at the castle's entrance to this day. In 2012, Flemish industrialist Chris Cardon fell in love with the property while running the famous Médoc Marathon. After acquiring the estate, he set a clear ambition to elevate La Haye to the status of Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eThe property's terroir, characterised by gravel over light, sandy soils, imparts a distinct finesse and elegance to the wine. This terroir produces a Saint-Estèphe that is supple and fruit-forward, making it approachable even in its youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.custom-html-container,\n.custom-html-container * {\n  background-color: transparent !important;\n  box-shadow: none !important;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Remove any inherited top margin *\/\n  \n}\n\n.custom-html-container {\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Ensure container has no top space *\/\n  padding-top: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.custom-html-container .global-button {\n  background-color: #35174D !important;\n  color: #ffffff !important;\n  border: 2px solid #35174D !important;\n  display: inline-flex;\n  padding: 25px 40px;\n  font-family: Futura, sans-serif;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n  line-height: 110%;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  cursor: pointer;\n  transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Explicitly remove top margin *\/\n}\n  \n.custom-html-container .global-button:hover {\n  background-color: #ffffff !important;\n  color: #35174D !important;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;\" class=\"custom-html-container\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"global-button\" href=\"\/collections\/saint-estephe\"\u003eBrowse our Saint-Estephe Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Whelehans Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56782842823000,"sku":"700016","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/fief-de-la-haye-saint-estephe-bordeux-wine-whelehans-wines-dublin-online-wineshop.jpg?v=1774440733","url":"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/products\/chateau-fief-de-la-haye-st-estephe-2020","provider":"Whelehans Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
