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 history of Champ de Fleuret has always been intrinsically linked to French literature, while being cosmopolitan. The parcels producing this wine are located near Lussac, around the Abbaye de Faise, built in 1137. In addition to the wine-making work, the monks of the Abbey welcomed pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela. The wine from the plots of land around the abbey has therefore always been tasted by these travellers from different horizons. The abbey was, moreover, run by two members of the family of Montesquieu (political thinker, precursor of sociology, French philosopher and writer of the Enlightenment). Partly destroyed during the French Revolution, restoration work was carried out by the French Academician Maurice Druon (the French Academy standards the French language, gives it rules and has the task of making it understandable to everyone), who owned it until 2009.
