WINE DESCRIPTION
Château Jalousie Beaulieu Bordeaux Supérieur is a distinguished wine hailing from the Bordeaux region in France. Produced with meticulous attention to terroir, the vineyards feature clay-gravelly hillsides that contribute to the wine's character. With an average vine age of 30 years, the estate employs sustainable viticulture practices, including controlled cover cropping and mechanical work for soil vitality and biodiversity enhancement. Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal maturity, undergoing rigorous selection. The entire vineyard is managed with a commitment to sustainable agriculture, holding a High Environmental Value certification. The winemaking process involves destemming, crushing, and gentle tanking, with a 20-day fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine, composed mainly of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, matures for 12 months in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant fruit character. The result is a Bordeaux Supérieur that harmoniously marries elegance, fruitiness, and the nuanced expression of its unique terroir.
