Frequently Asked Questions

What grapes dominate St-Julien wines?

St-Julien wines are typically Cabernet Sauvignon-led blends, supported by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. This creates a structure of firm tannins, rich dark fruit flavours, and elegant aromatics that define the appellation’s balance of power and finesse.

How long can St-Julien wines age?

Top vintages from classified growths in St-Julien can age 20–30 years, gaining depth and refinement. Over time, the wines develop notes of cedar, tobacco, and earth, rewarding collectors who value long-term cellaring.

Are St-Julien wines approachable when young?

Yes, many St-Julien wines are approachable within 5–8 years, especially those from less tannic vintages. However, the finest examples improve significantly with ageing, offering greater complexity and polish.

What foods pair well with St-Julien?

Roast beef, lamb, venison, and aged cheeses pair beautifully with St-Julien’s structured yet elegant style. The balance of fruit, tannin, and acidity makes these wines versatile for rich, savoury dishes.
