AOC Listrac Medoc

The Listrac-Médoc appellation is the least prestigious of the Haut-Médoc titles, for a variety of reasons. Unlike Margaux or Pauillac, it is situated in an area of limestone and clay soils (rather than gravel and clay). The soils are also more shallow here than in surrounding areas. This means that the vine roots do not run very deep, a trait usually connected to quality. Listrac-Médoc is also a little further from the temperature-moderating influences of the Gironde estuary.
