Collection: Château Verdignan

In the quiet northern reaches of the Médoc, where the Gironde’s breezes temper the summer sun, Château Verdignan has built a reputation on substance over spectacle. With roots stretching back to the 18th century, this historic cru bourgeois estate is a classic voice of the left bank—structured, balanced, and deeply connected to its gravel-rich soils.

Located near Saint-Seurin-de-Cadourne, just north of Saint-Estèphe, the 45-hectare vineyard benefits from deep gravel terraces layered over clay and limestone subsoils. These geologic contrasts lend the wines both aromatic lift and textural depth. Cabernet Sauvignon takes the lead in the vineyard, supported by Merlot and a small proportion of Cabernet Franc. The estate’s viticultural approach emphasizes sustainable farming, low yields, and precision canopy management to preserve freshness and varietal expression.

Harvesting is carried out parcel by parcel, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Aging takes place in French oak barrels, roughly one-third new, for 12 to 15 months. The winemaking philosophy is rooted in transparency: highlighting the site, not obscuring it.

The Château Verdignan Haut-Médoc is deeply Médocain in style—cassis, pencil shavings, and dried herbs wrapped in firm but polished tannins. There is structure, but also subtlety: a wine that opens gradually in the glass, revealing poise and persistence rather than overt opulence. It is a classic table wine in the best sense—built to accompany, evolve, and endure.

For those who seek the authenticity of Bordeaux without excess, Château Verdignan offers quiet satisfaction. Its reputation has grown not through marketing or modern flash, but through decades of consistent, characterful vintages—wines that speak clearly of their place and craft.

Each bottle is a conversation with the gravel and the river—a composed, enduring echo of the northern Médoc.
