Bordeaux Authentic AOP Trio

Bordeaux Authentic AOP is positioned as an entry point into appellation-level Bordeaux, drawing fruit from across the broader Gironde basin where the confluence of the Garonne and Dordogne rivers moderates temperatures and sustains a maritime microclimate.

Alluvial and clay-limestone soils across the region encourage even ripening of Merlot — the dominant variety in this blend — while contributing the plush, rounded texture that defines accessible Bordeaux.

The wine is vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve primary fruit, with a short maceration period designed to extract colour and soft tannin without aggressive grip. Oak contact is kept minimal, preserving the fresh, fruit-forward profile rather than imposing wood structure — a deliberate choice for early drinkability.

What sets this expression apart within its tier is the Trio format: three bottles presented together, each drawn from the same appellation-level blend, making it a practical introduction to Bordeaux's house style at AOP level. Drink now through 2026 for peak primary fruit expression.
