Haut Médoc Grand Bourgeois Château Ségur 1987
This 1987 red wine is produced by Château Ségur, an estate historically known as the former Seigneury of the Counts of Ségur. The wine holds the Grand Bourgeois classification within the Appellation Haut-Médoc Contrôlée and was bottled directly at the château by viticulturists J. & J.P. Grazioli. The 1987 vintage from this area is characterized as light.
The estate is located in Haut-Médoc, the southern and most prestigious section of the Médoc peninsula on the left bank of Bordeaux, France. Situated by the Atlantic Ocean, Bordeaux is a historic wine region that has been exporting wine since the Middle Ages and remains famous for its 1855 classification of leading estates. The gravel soils of the Gironde's left bank are traditionally dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, which is typically blended with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, while the region's right bank is the primary domain of Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
