BORDEAUX SUPÉRIEUR · RIGHT BANK
Bordeaux Supérieur: These AOC wines are produced from selected vineyard plots and older vines. As a result, these red wines are generally more
complex and have a better ageing potential than Bordeaux AOC wines. Red Bordeaux Supérieur wines are made from the same varieties as
Bordeaux AOC wines, however this AOC has even stricter production norms that the Bordeaux AOC: smaller yields (50 hL/ha), a higher permitted
alcohol strength (0.5%) and the producer must age the wines a minimum of 12 months before selling them.
