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 Parlementaires played a strategic role in developing the fame of the wines of Bordeaux. It was Jean de Pontac, member of a rich family of Bordeaux parliamentarians, who had the idea of building proper viticultural systems to improve the quality of wines destined for the English market. As a result, vineyards began to be organised around châteaux, cellars, mansions and wineries, to confirm and make durable the region’s winemaking expertise. A modern range, emblematic of the finest Bordeaux tradition. Available in Bordeaux red, white and rosé, Bordeaux Supérieur, Lussac St Emilion, Côtes de Bordeaux, Médoc and Monbazillac.
