Saint-Estèphe Region
Sub region of Bordeaux region
Saint-Estèphe is separated from its famous neighbor, Pauillac, only by a stream, yet there are significant differences between them mainly due to the enormous geological variety of its soils and sub-soils. For thousands of years, successive layers of alluvial soils were deposited.
