Château de Beaulieu – Bordeaux Rouge Supérieur
This region consists of limestone plateaux at around 100m above sea level, hence its name "Bordeaux's high country". Wines of the Bordeaux Supérieur appellation are produced the vineyard zone of the Gironde. The wines must conform to rigorous quality criteria and are made from grapes from selected vineyard parcels and older vines. The red Bordeaux Supérieur is characterised by great aromatic complexity combining ripe fruits, floral aromas, spice and often a hint of oak.
The size of Château de Beaulieu is a result of three generations of winegrowers who took a particular interest in the vineyard. In 1934 the grandfather of Françoise Rion, who owns the property today, was one of the brave and enlightened winegrowers who founded the main cooperative of the appellation.
