Chateau La Salargue 2023 Bordeaux Superiore

Château La Salargue is a Bordeaux estate producing wines under the Bordeaux Supérieur designation, which requires stricter yield controls and slightly higher minimum alcohol levels compared to standard Bordeaux AOC. Wines from this classification often show greater concentration and ageing potential.

The wine is typically a blend dominated by Merlot, supported by Cabernet Sauvignon and/or Cabernet Franc. Vineyards are planted on clay and limestone soils, which favour Merlot’s ripening and contribute to roundness and structure.
