WINE MAKING PROCESS
Cap Royal Bordeaux Supérieur is produced using fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, a technique chosen to preserve the wine's fruity profile. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 9 months in oak barrels, a process that imparts complexity and vanilla notes. The Compagnie Médocaine des Grands Crus, as the producer, follows a philosophy of selecting prime terroirs and estates to craft their wines.
