Bordeaux Supérieur, France – Merlot Led Blend
A smooth, classic Bordeaux: ripe, balanced and medium bodied. Ideal for those looking for an easy introduction to Right Bank styles.

A traditional Bordeaux estate focused on producing approachable, fruit-driven wines that reflect the classic character of the region. Vineyard management prioritises balance and consistency, while winemaking emphasises gentle extraction and careful ageing to soften tannins and integrate flavours. The result is a style that is smooth, reliable and well suited to everyday drinking.

Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world’s great red wine varieties, prized for its structure, longevity and unmistakable sense of authority. Naturally high in tannin and acidity, it produces wines with depth and backbone, often built around dark fruit flavours such as blackcurrant, blackberry and plum, alongside classic notes of cedar, tobacco and graphite. These qualities make Cabernet particularly well suited to ageing, where time in bottle softens its frame and allows greater complexity to emerge. While famously associated with Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon expresses itself differently across regions and climates. In warmer areas it shows generosity and ripeness, with plush fruit and a warming richness; in cooler climates, it leans towards restraint, freshness and aromatic lift. What unites all great examples is their ability to reward patience — whether through decanting to allow the wine to open fully, or through years in the cellar. Cabernet is a wine for slower enjoyment, unfolding gradually and offering more with every glass.

Cabernet Franc

A key Bordeaux variety, particularly important in Saint-Émilion and the Loire Valley, where it produces wines of freshness, aromatic lift and structure. Typically showing flavours of red currant, raspberry and plum, it is often accompanied by distinctive notes of violet, graphite and a gentle herbal edge. Medium bodied with bright acidity and fine tannins, Cabernet Franc brings elegance and precision rather than weight. In blends, it adds lift, perfume and freshness to Merlot, while as a single variety it can produce refined, food-friendly wines with a clear sense of place and excellent versatility at the table.

Merlot

One of the world’s most widely planted and approachable red grape varieties, forming the backbone of many wines from Bordeaux, particularly on the Right Bank. Known for its generous fruit and soft texture, it typically shows flavours of plum, black cherry and blackberry, often complemented by notes of chocolate, spice and subtle herbs. Medium to full bodied with smooth tannins and moderate acidity, Merlot produces wines that are supple, rounded and easy to enjoy, both on their own and as part of a blend. It plays a key role in adding richness and approachability to Bordeaux wines, while in warmer regions it can deliver plush, fruit-forward styles, and in cooler climates, more structured and elegant expressions.
