Bordeaux Supérieur

Bold, rich, and unapologetic.

Bordeaux Supérieur is the wine equivalent of a well-worn leather jacket-classic, reliable, and a little rough around the edges. It doesn’t get the same kind of hype as its more famous counterparts, but that’s alright. It’s here to get the job done and do it well, offering the kind of comfort food for the soul that only a solid glass of red can provide.

Nestled in the heart of southwest France, Bordeaux is a sprawling region famed for its red blends dominated by Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The “Supérieur” designation is no small potatoes; it’s a badge that means these wines come from vineyards with slightly stricter regulations, making them a notch above your average bottle from the area. Think of it as the difference between a standard burger and a gourmet one-same foundation, more flavor and finesse.

Pour one, and you’re met with a symphony of dark fruits-blackberries, plums, maybe a little bit of current if it’s feeling fancy. It’s like nature’s candy, but not in that sickly-sweet way. There’s something earthy and grounded about it, hints of tobacco and leather sneaking in as if you’re sitting in a cozy study, fireplace crackling, just relaxing after a long day.

And let’s not gloss over the tannins. They’ve got a bit of a grip, but they know their place. It’s that mouth-feel that whispers, “Yeah, I’m here to hang out.” They wrap around your palate like a good friend giving you a firm handshake-assertive yet inviting. Drink it with a steak, a hearty stew, or even just some stinky cheese. Because let’s be real-sometimes life’s about finding joy in the simple things.

Bordeaux Supérieur isn’t for those who live in a cloud of pretentiousness. It’s straightforward and approachable, like that mate who knows their way around the grill but doesn’t need to show off. It’s the type of wine that thrives when it’s being enjoyed-no need for swirling it under the light like a wannabe sommelier; just pour it and go for it.

If you’re after something with elegance but still a little down-to-earth, Bordeaux Supérieur should be on your radar. It struts its stuff, but with a wink that says, “I’m not taking this too seriously.” So ditch the wine wankery and grab a bottle. Let’s savor the good shit for what it is: a solid red that reminds you life is too short to sip anything less than delicious.

Bordeaux Supérieur-your new favorite comfy old shoe of a red wine.

It’s time to embrace the simple pleasures without all the fuss.
