Château Troupian is a French red wine produced by Société Fermière des Grands Crus de France under the Appellation Haut-Médoc Contrôlée. Formerly classified as a Cru Bourgeois, the estate is part of the Lestage Simon property, situated in the commune of Saint-Seurin-de-Cadourne. The wine originates from Bordeaux, a historic region on the Atlantic coast that has been exporting wine since the Middle Ages and remains renowned for its legendary 1855 classification.The Haut-Médoc area forms the southern and highly prestigious part of the Médoc peninsula on Bordeaux's left bank. While the left bank is traditionally known for its gravel soils, the vineyards for Château Troupian are cultivated on a clay-limestone terroir. The 2006 vintage from this area is characterized as tight and classic, earning a score of 88 points.This specific wine is crafted from a blend of 80 percent Merlot and 20 percent Cabernet. Merlot is a classic blue grape widely planted in Bordeaux, as well as in regions like California, Washington, and Northern Italy. The Cabernet portion represents a traditional Bordeaux family of grapes, typically encompassing Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. While Cabernet varieties are globally distributed and prominent in areas such as Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige, California, and Tuscany, they form the traditional backbone of Bordeaux blends alongside Merlot. The wine is bottled directly at the château and contains 13 percent alcohol.

Super service and very helpful. Lost one of the bottles during transport and reported it to Bottles With History. It was fixed immediately and a new bottle was sent immediately. (Actually a better wine in my opinion) It is very difficult to guarantee that older bottles are drinkable, like the Barolo from 69 I tried. Anders came to the rescue again and of course sent a new bottle of the same caliber. Thank you very much for the good service, can definitely recommend shopping here in safe hands.
