Saint-Estèphe Cru Bourgeois

Classified Cru Bourgeois in 1932, Château Picard in the heart of the village of Saint-Estèphe has always been considered one of the best in this appellation.

The last of the properties acquired by Mähler-Besse (in 1997), this estate was chosen for its development potential, and its average surface area allowing complete control of its production.

Its exceptional clay soil, characteristic of Saint Estèphe, has soils full of calcified remains of cockles and sea urchins.

Chateau Picard

Château Picard is one of the only Cru Bourgeois in the Saint-Estèphe appellation, which makes it particularly demanding

Since the acquisition of Château Picard, Mähler-Besse, which renovated the Napoleon III-style cellars, has equipped the property with an efficient winemaking tool, with the entry of the harvest by gravity. Its exceptional clay soil, characteristic of Saint Estèphe, has soils full of 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.
