Bordeaux Côtes de Francs Château Francs la Comtesse 1989
Château Francs la Comtesse 1989 er en rødvin fra den historiske franske vinregion Bordeaux. Vinen er fremstillet på en 16 hektar stor ejendom beliggende i selve kommunen Francs, hvor den også er aftappet direkte på slottet. Årgang 1989 har opnået en score på 96 point og beskrives som fyldig og koncentreret, hvilket afspejler de særlige betingelser i dette høstår.
Vinen bærer klassifikationen Appellation Bordeaux Côtes de Francs Contrôlée. Dette område, som siden 2009 officielt hedder Francs Côtes de Bordeaux, er en af de mindste appellationer i Bordeaux. Det udgør den østligste del af de regionale Côtes de Bordeaux-appellationer og består af blot tre vinkommuner øst for Lussac-Saint-Émilion og nord for Côtes de Castillon. Oprindeligt blev vinene herfra solgt som Saint-Émilion, men da dette blev forbudt i 1920'erne, gled distriktet i baggrunden, indtil det blev genopdaget og fik sin egen appellation i 1976. Klimaet er let kontinentalt med varmere somre og koldere vintre på grund af afstanden til Atlanterhavet.
Vinmarkerne hos Château Francs la Comtesse er præget af ler- og kalkrige jorde med en god dræning. Vinen er primært baseret på Merlot, som udgør 75 procent af beplantningen. Merlot er en klassisk blå drue, der er særdeles udbredt i netop Bordeaux, men som også dyrkes i områder som Californien, Washington og Norditalien. Den resterende del af vinen udgøres af Cabernet Sauvignon og Cabernet Franc, der ligeledes er velkendte blå druesorter med stærke rødder i Bordeaux-regionen.

Bordeaux
Bordeaux on the Atlantic is the world's most famous wine region and has been exporting wine since the Middle Ages. The legendary 1855 classification still ranks the area's leading châteaux. On the left bank of the Gironde, Cabernet Sauvignon dominates on gravel soils, while the right bank is the domain of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The region is known for elegant, age-worthy blends of great finesse.
