Château Laborie Granger – 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.

Château Laborie Granger is situated in Courpiac. The vines are planted on clay-limestone soil and the estate has belonged to Mr Dominique Granger for several years. Courpiac is located on the Way of Saint James and is known for its springs and their healing powers. There are still 5 springs, some of them with a wash-house, like the Saint-Christophe spring called "caguebasse", reputed to relieve stomach pains.
