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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Société Fermière des Grands Crus de France","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57670734020934,"sku":null,"price":105.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1690_2b7cd51a-5e84-44ae-842c-9b6f3fc82f3d.jpg?v=1792585092","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/haut-medoc-chateau-troupian-2006","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
