Château La Verriere
Château La Verriere produces wine in Bordeaux Supérieur, the appellation that sits just above basic Bordeaux in the region's hierarchy. The estate's flagship Bordeaux Supérieur blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot—the classic Bordeaux trio that defines the region's character. Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc bring structure and dark fruit; Merlot adds roundness and depth. This blend has been assessed by Wine Spectator. The Bordeaux Supérieur designation signals wines with higher alcohol and riper fruit than their Bordeaux counterparts, reflecting the region's ability to coax maturity from its gravelly Left Bank and clay-limestone Right Bank soils. Château La Verriere's expression of these varieties sits within that tradition.
