Château Hostens-Picant is a major vineyard lo- cated on
Château Hostens-Picant is a major vineyard located on the right bank of the Garonne river, 23 kms East of Saint-Emilion, near the town of Sainte-Foy-La-Grande (Appellation Sainte-Foy Bordeaux/Côtes de Bordeaux). Yves and Nadine Hostens-Picant fell in love with the area and bought the vineyard in 1986. They made their first vintage in 1990. Essentially Merlot and Cabernet Franc for the reds, Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle for the whites, they produce year after year wines that are crafted in the same way as Grands Crus Classés. Yves, a perfectionist at heart, likes to say that "our wines must be perfect, otherwise there’s no point in making them”. Hostens-Picant wines have an amazing balance between subtlety and body, which is the trademark of great Bordeaux. Thanks to their hard work, a very selective distribution and the constant quality of their wines, they have always had an excellent reputation in France and worldwide, getting not only recognition among professionals and in national and international competitions but also appreciation among consumers. Their two daughters, Charlotte and Valentine have joined the adventure and are continuing the excellent work initiated by their parents while adapting to an ever-changing trade. The family's wines have been present on the Chinese Market since 1996 - In Guangzhou (House wine of the White Swan Hotel), Xiamen, Shanghai, among other places. S.C.E.A.
