Haut-Médoc is an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) for Bordeaux wine in southwestern France, on the left bank of the Gironde estuary.
The wines from the Haut-Médoc are often full-bodied and elegant wines. The grape varieties used are mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, supplemented with Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot. The vines are on terraces of pebble, gravel, limestone, clay, marl and sand, which ensures good drainage.
