La Tourelle Bordeaux Supérieur
La Tourelle Bordeaux Supérieur
If you’re a fan of classic French reds that combine great quality with incredible value, look to wines labelled ‘Bordeaux Supérieur’. A step up from your average bottle, these delicious blends are made from vines with lower yields of grapes. Lower yields mean more concentrated flavours – and once you add a minimum of 12 months of oak ageing, you’re in for a flavourful, complex wine that’s a steal for the quality. We’re proud to have the UK exclusive on this example. Its distinctive label is inspired by the fortified turrets – or ‘tourelles’ – that were built to defend Bordeaux from sea-faring invaders. Expect fresh notes of black fruits, spice, menthol and a hint of liquorice. It’s a versatile wine that’ll pair well with charcuterie and other cold meats.
