Château Beau-Site Haut-Vignoble
Located in Saint-Estèphe, Château Beau-Site Haut-Vignoble is not to be confused with Château Beau-Site, a neighboring property located directly next door which is owned by the Castéja family of Château Batailley. This Cru Bourgeois is produced with a predominance of Cabernet Sauvignon (often around 55%) followed by Merlot (40%) and a small amount of Petit Verdot to give extra perfume and color. Like much of Saint-Estèphe, its soil is predominately deep gravelly clay supported by a smaller amount of limestone. It is reputed to have been a favorite wine of movie director Stanley Kubrick and was featured in his film, "Clockwork Orange".
