Introduction
The Richard Family, supplies the Parisian hotels, restuarnts and typical French brasseries with wine (and coffee). The market share of Richard Wines is about 50% as “Richard is Paris”! and therefore represents "THE TASTE OF PARIS". Richard is also one of the substantial winegrowers in France with a vineyard area of about 700 ha in total. The Domaines Richard owns several chateaux: Chateau de Barbe - Côtes de Bourg, En Beaujolais - le Chateau de Corcelles, Chateau Le Bourdieu-Vertheuil - Haut-Medoc, Chapelle de Brivazac - Bordeaux, Chateau Escalette - Côtes de Bourg and Chateau Victoria, Haut-Medoc which we would like to introduce you.
Chateau Victoria nestles in the north of Saint-Estephe. The 20 hectares of the domain are situated on a sandy, clay soil giving to the wine a good ageing potential. 75% Cabernet Sauvignon & 25% Merlot. The wine is matured in oak casks according to regional tradition and benefits from the great experience of Francois Clauzel, the manager.
