La Paroisse

Haute Valeur environnementale

Haut-Médoc AOC – Bordeaux – France

LA PAROISSE is the historic brand from the winery founded in 1935 in the village of Saint-Seurin de Cadourne.

Located near Saint-Estèphe, on excellent terroirs of gravelly soil, this wine is particularly well known by connoisseurs for its excellent quality-price ratio, and a consistency that is characteristic of a wine’s intense Médoc roots over several decades. Such consistency is strong evidence of the wine’s high quality and typicity.

Certified HVE3 as of the 2018 vintage.
