The wine region of Bordeaux Supérieur
Quality expression of generic Bordeaux: more concentrated, structured reds suited to 3-7 years' ageing, dominated by round Merlot (plum, black fruits), with firm Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, cedar), Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot for the tannic frame. Stricter rules: higher planting density, limited yields, higher alcohol, longer ageing (often 12 months). Across the whole Gironde. Affordable yet serious Bordeaux, perfect at the table.
