Château Floréal Laguens
Château Floréal Laguens sits in Côtes de Bordeaux, the dynamic eastern wing of Bordeaux where Merlot and Cabernet thrive on clay and limestone soils. The estate produces three core expressions, each a blend rooted in the region's classical palette. The Réserve Messidor Bordeaux Supérieur layers Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec into a structured wine that has drawn attention from Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator. The Bordeaux Supérieur—a tighter blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc—offers a more direct take on the appellation's character. The Premières Côtes de Bordeaux, built from Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon, rounds out the portfolio with a lighter-framed entry point. Across all three, the winery demonstrates command of Côtes de Bordeaux's terroir, where right-bank softness meets left-bank structure.
