Winemaking Notes: The grapes for Les Hauts de Sainte-Marie Rouge comes from a selection of Chateau Sainte-Marie's best vineyards. Grapes undergo maceration and fermentation with indigenous yeast over 3-5 weeks in stainless steel tanks for a soft extraction of the tannins. The wine ages in French oak barrels for 12 months.

Tasting Notes: In the glass, this wine has a bright black cherry color. The soils of the Entre-Deux-Mers give this wine its character, its tannins, and its aromas of pleasantly ripe red fruits. This is a lovely entry-level Bordeaux red wine. The wine has an aging potential of 2 to 5 years.
