The Sainte-Foy Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, located on the eastern edge of the Bordeaux region, is characterized by its rolling hills and diverse soils, including clay-limestone and flint. This terroir imparts a distinctive minerality and freshness to the wines. The region benefits from a temperate climate, influenced by its proximity to the Dordogne River, which aids in the optimal ripening of grapes. While less renowned than neighboring appellations, Sainte-Foy has garnered attention for producing high-quality, terroir-driven wines, with Château Hostens-Picant being a notable exemplar.
