This 1987 vintage, described as light in character, was aged in oak barrels and bottled directly at the château, reflecting the traditional production methods of the estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine holds the Appellation Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Contrôlée. Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is an independent appellation on the right bank of Bordeaux, geographically covering the same area as regular Saint-Émilion but governed by stricter production rules. These regulations require lower yields, a higher minimum alcohol content, and a longer aging period of at least 20 months. The appellation spans 5,400 hectares across eight municipalities surrounding the medieval town of Saint-Émilion, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The terroir consists of a patchwork of limestone plateaus, limestone-clay slopes, gravel, and sandy soils, which primarily support Merlot, alongside Cabernet Franc and a smaller proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLocated by the Atlantic Ocean, Bordeaux is the world's most famous wine region, with a history of exporting wine that dates back to the Middle Ages. While the left bank of the Gironde estuary is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon grown on gravel soils, the right bank is the traditional domain of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The region is globally recognized for producing elegant blended wines of great finesse, and its legendary 1855 classification continues to rank the leading châteaux of the area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vignobles Artufel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57238594322758,"sku":null,"price":800.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/2B616933-FACA-4CBC-BA59-CBE77DF42F4F.jpg?v=1788341447","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.dk\/en\/products\/saint-emilion-grand-cru-chateau-bouquey-1997","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
