Le Grix de la Salle. Bottled directly at the estate, this wine originates from the world-renowned Bordeaux region, situated along the Atlantic coast.

Established as a regional AOC in 1943, Bordeaux Supérieur covers the entire Bordeaux region but enforces stricter production regulations than the basic Bordeaux appellation. These requirements include lower yields, higher minimum alcohol levels, the use of older vines, denser planting, and a mandatory aging period of at least nine months. The appellation spans approximately 12,400 hectares across the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Bordeaux, the Left Bank of the Gironde estuary is traditionally dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon grown on gravel soils, while the Right Bank is the primary domain of Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
