Château de Lavagnac
Château de Lavagnac produces wines from Bordeaux Supérieur, the region's elevated appellation that demands riper fruit and stricter yields than standard Bordeaux. The winery's portfolio centers on the classic Bordeaux blend: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc in varying proportions. La Grande Dame Bordeaux Supérieur leads the range, a Merlot-forward blend with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc that has drawn attention from Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator. The core Bordeaux Supérieur follows a similar varietal mix, while the entry-level Bordeaux expression shifts the emphasis toward Cabernet Franc and Merlot. These wines reflect the structure and depth characteristic of the Right Bank's clay and limestone soils, where Merlot thrives alongside the Cabernets' tannin and aging potential.
