Wine house:

Chateau Les Nougueys comes from chateau Haut-Coteau, which has been run by the Brousseaus family since 1908. The castle is located in the commune of Saint-Estephe, one of the most important Medoc appellations. Saint-Estephe is the northernmost of the municipalities in the Medoc and with its 1230 ha. also the largest. The soil in the district is clay and covered with gravel. These conditions create solid wines with a firm blackcurrant-like fruit and a lot of acidity.
