The property takes pride in expressing the character of this lesser-known but quietly excellent corner of Bordeaux, where the soils and gentle climate suit Merlot and the two Cabernets beautifully.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSéquoia is named after the stately sequoia tree that stands on the estate's grounds.
