Château Machorre
Château Machorre produces wine in Bordeaux, France's most celebrated wine region. The winery's Bordeaux Supérieur blends Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon—a composition that draws on the region's classical approach to structure and depth. Wine Enthusiast has rated the wine at 88 points. The blend reflects Bordeaux's tradition of combining these three varieties to achieve balance: the Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc provide framework and aging potential, while Merlot rounds the mid-palate. Bordeaux Supérieur sits above the basic Bordeaux appellation, requiring lower yields and higher alcohol, which typically yields wines of greater concentration. Château Machorre's expression of this appellation represents the straightforward craft of the region—grapes selected and vinified to express terroir and varietal character without artifice.
