Vinification, winemaker's own words
- Soils:
- Clay, Limestone
- Terroir:
- Saint-Paul grows on a sunny, south-facing hillside in Saint-Seurin-de-Cadourne, where red and blue clay soils give the wine its fresh, smooth style. The clay holds water naturally, helping the vines stay balanced even in warm summers.
- Harvest:
- Picked by hand, Mechanically
- Fermentation:
- Steel (100%)
- Storage:
- Steel (33%) 12 months
Old oak (33%) 12 months

- Arnaud Villette
In the cellar, Saint-Paul is made with a light touch: the grapes are sorted carefully, fermented in concrete and steel, and handled with gentle, slow extractions. A traditional vertical press and separate aging of each lot keep the wine pure, fresh, and honest before the final blend.

Château Saint-Paul is the easy-going neighbour of Charmail, perched on the sunny slopes of Saint-Seurin-de-Cadourne — a village where vines have been grown for centuries. Winemaker Arnaud Villette, originally from Normandie, brings a cool, relaxed touch to the cellar, crafting smooth, generous wines without pretension. The estate’s gravel-and-clay soils overlook the Gironde estuary, and its history even includes a past chapter with the famous candle-making family of Lourdes. Today, Saint-Paul is classic Médoc with a laid-back vibe — perfect for anyone who loves good wine without overthinking it.
