The legal division between the Médoc and the Haut-Médoc dates from 1935.

The present surface area of vines producing wines entitled to the "Haut-Médoc" appellation is about 4'700 hectares for an average production of 250'000 hectoliters.

The wines of Haut-Médoc appellation are brillant and lively. Harmoniously balanced, generous but not overpowering they develop with time a remarkable bouquet. Depending upon where they come from, they will be more or less deeply coloured, more or less robust, but they all have that special "Médoc" character which makes them appreciated throughout the whole world.
