Château d’Escot’s Cuvée Prestige comes from one of the oldest Médoc estates, documented under the Escot name by 1850 and listed as a Cru Bourgeois in the 1868 and 1932 classifications. The property sits on gravelly soils between the Atlantic and the Gironde, a setting long recognized for quality viticulture. Recent ownership has focused on restructuring the vineyard and replanting parcels better suited to the terroir, along with modernizing technical facilities. Cuvée Prestige appears among the estate’s bottlings in mature vintages, reflecting traditional Left Bank varieties shaped by this gravel-driven site. Production centers on careful vineyard renewal and updated cellar work.
