The AOC Bordeaux Supérieur is a prestigious designation from the Bordeaux wine region in France. Known for its superior quality red and white wines, this designation benefits from an exceptional terroir, characterised by clay-limestone soil ideal for viticulture. The dominant grape varieties for reds include Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc, offering wines rich in aromas of red fruits, blackcurrant, and spices, with silky tannins that promote good ageing potential in wine cellars.
This region also produces high-quality white wines, often made from Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle. These whites are distinguished by their freshness, vivacity, and notes of citrus and white flowers.
As a sommelier or wine cellar manager, adding wines from the AOC Bordeaux Supérieur to your collection is a wise choice to diversify and enrich your cellar. The balance between tradition and innovation that characterises this designation makes it a preferred choice for lovers of authentic French wines.
