Château Julien

HAUT-MÉDOC

This Haut-Médoc property, bought in 1985, is of particular sentimental value to the family as Maryse Meyre is herself originally from Cussac Fort Médoc.

Château Julien neighbours the great terroirs of Saint Julien, the vines nestling on gravelly marls producing fruity, generous wines boasting harmonious tannins, in a style that has long made the reputation of Haut-Médoc.

Nathalie and Julien now manage this 15-hectare property, perpetuating traditional methods alongside modern techniques.
