Château Verdignan is a historic wine estate located in the heart of the Haut-Médoc AOC. Situated in the canton of Pauillac, the vineyard borders the prestigious Saint-Estèphe commune to the south, stretching elegantly along the Gironde estuary. As one of the oldest castles in the Médoc, the estate is a stunning example of 19th-century architecture. The terroir consists of classic gravel soils, which provide the perfect drainage and character to give Château Verdignan wines their signature complexity and "touch of magic."

A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc from 40 year old vines. The varieties are fermented seperately in stainless steel before the wine is blended and aged for a year in 25% new oak.

A rich and expressive nose. You’ll find primary notes of ripe blackberry and plum, interwoven with secondary and tertiary developed scents like leather, cedar, and cigar box. There is a distinct "scorched earth" or graphite minerality typical of its location near Saint-Estèphe.
