{"product_id":"bordeaux-superieur-chateau-la-blanquerie-1983","title":"Bordeaux Supérieur Château La Blanquerie 1982","description":"\u003cp\u003eChâteau La Blanquerie is located in Mérignas, deep within the Entre-deux-mers area, approximately 45 to 55 kilometers southeast of the city of Bordeaux. Here, where the broad agricultural lands stretch between the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, the Rougier family has managed the estate for three generations. The grandfather planted the first vines in the 1930s, and the family has since expanded the property to its current 17 to 18 hectares. The estate is known for its artisanal approach, and while the vineyards were later converted to organic farming in 1987, this 1982 vintage reflects the traditional methods of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSituated near the Atlantic coast, Bordeaux is a historically significant wine region that has been exporting its renowned blends since the Middle Ages. Within this broader region lies the Bordeaux Supérieur appellation, established in 1943. This regional AOC requires stricter production rules than the basic Bordeaux appellation, including lower yields, higher minimum alcohol levels, older vines, denser planting, and at least nine months of aging. The 1982 vintage in this area is widely regarded as legendary—rich and balanced—achieving a score of 97 points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe red wines from Château La Blanquerie are typically crafted as a blend consisting of around 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. In the Bordeaux Supérieur appellation, these two varieties are the primary focus, though they can occasionally be supplemented by Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Carmenère. The wine was bottled directly at the estate, carrying the traditional \"Mis en bouteille du Château\" designation, and this specific release was awarded a Bronze Medal at the Concours Général Agricole in Paris in 1984.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château La Blanquerie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57244185592134,"sku":null,"price":1450.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-955_f98b1b2d-7deb-4717-a742-ca4094cafb1f.jpg?v=1788347234","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.se\/en\/products\/bordeaux-superieur-chateau-la-blanquerie-1983","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
