The estate is located near the town of Cadillac in the elongated wine district of Premières Côtes de Bordeaux, situated on the right bank of the Garonne river. The château produces approximately 250,000 bottles annually, with the majority being red wine that is aged in their modern, well-equipped cellars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine holds the Appellation Bordeaux Supérieur Contrôlée, a regional designation established in 1943 that covers the entire Bordeaux region. Situated along the Atlantic coast, Bordeaux has been exporting wine since the Middle Ages and remains globally renowned, with its historic 1855 classification still highlighting the area's leading estates. The 1979 vintage achieved a score of 88 points and is described as charming and mature. Bordeaux Supérieur requires stricter production standards than the basic Bordeaux AOC, including lower yields, higher minimum alcohol levels, older vines, denser planting, and at least nine months of aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile the specific grape blend for this wine is not detailed, Bordeaux Supérieur red wines are primarily crafted from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, often supplemented by Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec, and occasionally Carmenère. In the broader Bordeaux region, the right bank is traditionally the domain of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, whereas Cabernet Sauvignon dominates the gravel soils of the left bank. The Bordeaux Supérieur appellation spans approximately 12,400 hectares across this historic landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DUFIS Frères","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57187755721030,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-796_3a6c7031-89cc-4ac1-a71b-37e428797770.jpg?v=1787562539","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/bordeaux-superieur-chateau-faubernet-1979","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
