Château Charmail
The winery was founded in the 17th century. It is located in the northernmost part of the Haut-Médoc area on the border of Saint-Estèphe, near Château Sociando Mallet. Château Charmail has a significant topographical advantage. The undulation and south-facing orientation contribute to the ripening of the grapes. The vine also benefits from a gentle breeze, which allows for regular aeration of the leaves and berries. Great care is taken with the harvest, which is done by hand. In the 16th century, the château was purchased by the Treveys de Charmail family.
