Without the prestige and renown of a ‘first-growth’, St.-Julien is sometimes overshadowed by its immediate northern neighbour, Pauillac, or the sprawling villages that make up Margaux to the south.  However, St.-Julien boasts the highest percentage of classified vineyards within its boundaries of any of Bordeaux’s major communes.

And whilst it doesn’t have a headlining ‘first-growth’, there are five excellent second-growths in St.-Julien, including a popular candidate for promotion should ever the potential arise, the majestic Leoville-Las Cases.
