However the varietal range for the reds is identical: Cabernet-Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Carmenere; and for the whites: Semillon, Sauvignon and Muscadelle.

They are more robust and fuller wines than ‘basic’ Bordeaux. Bordeaux Supérieur wines have red fruit (raspberry) and black fruit (blackcurrant) aromas, with a dash of vanilla for the oak-aged wines. They pair well with sirloin steak cooked over a fire of vine twigs, pan-fried Bayonne ham and roast beef with shallot chutney. The sweet white wines are rich in alcohol and sugar with scents of honey, acacia, plum and tobacco. They make perfect appetisers or accompaniments to white meat and foie gras.
