ABOUT THIS WINE
Sällskapets Röda Bordeaux, produced by Ch. Saransot-Dupré, hails from the Listrac-Médoc appellation in Bordeaux, France. The wine is a blend of Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Carmenère. The estate has a long history, with the Raymond family owning it since 1875, and their winemaking tradition in the region dates back to 1756. The estate's philosophy emphasizes creating a supple and rounded wine style that is approachable yet capable of aging. A unique aspect of their blend is a higher proportion of Cabernet Franc than is typical for the region. The 2019 vintage benefited from a dry and sunny summer, leading to a successful harvest and well-balanced wines.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Château Saransot-Dupré crafts its red Bordeaux from a blend dominated by Merlot, complemented by Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Carmenère. The estate's vineyards are situated on a clay-limestone terroir. Following harvest, the wines undergo fermentation, though specific details for the 2019 vintage are not provided. The wine is then aged in barriques, with 30% of the barrels being new oak. Production levels are maintained below the maximum permitted to ensure quality. The 2019 vintage was characterized by a dry and sunny summer, leading to an 'easy harvest'.
