About Cordier Labottière Prestige Bordeaux
Produced by Maison Cordier, one of Bordeaux’s most respected négociants, the Prestige Bordeaux epitomizes the region’s tradition of excellence. Sourced from select vineyard plots on the Right Bank, the grapes benefit from well-drained gravel soils and optimal sun exposure.
Terroir & Winemaking
The vineyards are meticulously managed with sustainable practices, ensuring healthy vines and exceptional fruit purity. After hand-harvesting, the grapes undergo gentle destemming and a temperature-controlled fermentation. The blend is then matured for 18 months in 40% new French oak barrels to impart subtle spice and vanilla nuances.
