Chateau Palais Cardinal estate is located in the commune of Saint-Sulpice de Faleyrens which lies to the south of Saint Emilion next door to the acclaimed Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classé Château Monbousquet. The terroir is a wonderfully free-draining, nutrient-poor mix of gravels and sand which are drained by the ‘La Fuie’ stream which lends its name to the label.  It takes its name from the sumptuous residence built in the 12th and 13th centuries, renamed “Palais Cardinal” when it was enlarged in the 14th century by Cardinal Gaillard de la Motte. Its combination of exceptional terroir and old vines makes it one of the richest and longest-lived of all Saint Emilion Grand Crus.
