More about this product
Cru La Maqueline
Acquired by Philippe Castel in 2006 , this property in Macau, just to the south of Margaux, is a beacon of originality in the heart of the Médoc, combining production of a lively red wine, a crémant, and a horse ranch. When Cru la Maqueline was added to the Castel Family Estates collection of properties, Philippe Castel brought together two of his passions. Winemaking, thanks to the property’s 36 hectares of vines, and American culture, thanks to stables dedicated to the discipline of “reining”, a western riding competition. A surprising blend of styles, which defines the special atmosphere of the vineyard nestled on the banks of the Garonne, complete with a Western-style acacia ranch, a world away from the surrounding châteaux. This identity is proudly displayed on the labels of the two wines produced at the estate, in the form of a horse’s head and a vine leaf.

Bordeaux
Bordeaux is perhaps the most famous wine region in France, stretching 130 kilometers inland from the Atlantic Ocean coast; in 2018, 111,000 hectares of vineyards were registered, a figure that has remained largely stable over the previous decade; the main varieties grown here are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, and from these, various wines are made, with each producer having their own blend and proportions of the grape varieties; some of the most famous, expensive, and long-lasting wines in the world are produced here, with the subregions Medoc, Graves, Saint-Emilion, Pomerol, and many others being well-known; Bordeaux is divided by the Gironde River into the left and right banks; the left bank (Medoc, Haut Medoc, Graves) is characterized by a more serious presence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the wine blend, while on the right bank (St. Emilion, Pomerol) Merlot predominates; in addition to red wines, Bordeaux is also famous for producing white wines, mainly a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, with the subregion Sauternes leading the ranking and the renowned Chateau d’Yquem, celebrated for its complex, multi-layered, aromatic, and sweet botrytized dessert wine.

Merlot
Southwest of France is Merlot’s birthplace - the regions of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Merlot is nowadays widely planted across the world much like Cabernet Sauvignon because it is an early maturing grape variety and because of its ability to ripen fully even in slightly cooler climates. Smooth, velvety, soft and rounded - an “easy drinking" wine with tender tannic structure - these are the common descriptions of Merlot wines.
