BORDEAUX SUPÉRIEUR - RED
Location
Saint-Seurin-sur-l’Isle, on the boundaries of the Saint-Emilion
vineyard. In the Libourne area of the Gironde department.
Vineyard
21 hectares (46 acres), managed using environmentally
responsible winegrowing techniques. The oldest vines are over 50 years old; the average age is around 35 years.
Soil
Alternating layers of gravel and fine sand over a clay subsoil
ensure optimal drainage.
The vinification integrale technique
Grapes from the best plots are vinified in 500 litre (132 gallon) oak barrels, turned by hand as many as six times a day at the start of vinification. This early integration of wood, before the maturing process, gives a concentration of colour and aromas and makes a more generous, noble and complex wine.
Blend
Merlot : 60%. Cabernet Franc : 30%. Cabernet Sauvignon : 10%.
Aging process
18 months.
TASTING
To the eye - ouverture
The colour is a deep, exceptionally intense red.
On the nose - allegro
Powerful aromas of ripe fruit provide a counterpoint to notes of deliciously grilled black truffle.
In the mouth - largo
An ample, silky mouthfeel..
Finish
Perfectly balanced, with a long finish worthy of the greatest Bordeaux wines.
Serving
at 18-19°C (64-66°F) xafter being decanted, ideally an hour before being served to give the wine its full expression.
Cellaring
It can already be enjoyed now and has a 20-year cellaring potential.
