Somewhat confusingly given the literal translation of its name, Haut-Médoc refers to the southern part of the greater Médoc peninsula - a viticultural area of approximately four-thousand-six-hundred hectares on the left bank of the Gironde estuary. The appellation produces lively, powerful wines with complex aromas; several of its estates have been included in Cru Bourgeois classifications.
