Bordeaux superieur
Bordeaux Supérieur is a distinctive wine appellation, notable for its unique origins. While French wine appellations are typically determined by the geographical delimitation of a specific area, Bordeaux Supérieur shares the same territory as its less prestigious counterpart, Bordeaux AOC. The key difference lies in the stricter regulations governing Bordeaux Supérieur, which naturally adheres to higher standards.
Unlike most French appellations, the vineyards designated for both Bordeaux and Bordeaux Supérieur are dispersed throughout the Bordeaux wine region.
If one were to combine the planted areas by grape variety, the theoretical composition of an average Bordeaux Supérieur would be: 53% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec, and a small percentage of Petit Verdot.
The average size of vineyards producing wines in this category is just 10 hectares. This often means that the wines are crafted by artisanal winemakers, frequently drawing on family traditions. For the best Bordeaux Supérieur wines, vineyard management and cellar practices align with the rigorous standards established in the top châteaux.
