Château Majoureau - Hyppos Rouge - Bordeaux Supérieur

Château Majoureau - Hyppos Rouge - Bordeaux Supérieur

This red Bordeaux Supérieur is the vintage aged in barrels from old plots of Château Majoureau . This purple-colored wine reveals a delicious nose of very ripe red and black fruits with woody notes. On the palate, this Hyppos Rouge 2021 vintage from Château Majoureau is suave, enveloped by silky tannins which bring a lot of charm to this rounded Bordeaux. An excellent quality/price/pleasure ratio for lovers of woody wines (but not too much)! With the Hyppos vintage, with the seahorse as its symbol, Mathieu Delong and his sister Emeline pay homage to their parents through their passions: the sea and horses.

HISTORY OF THE ESTATE

Château Majoureau is a 38-hectare family property located in Caudrot, in the heart of the Côtes de Bordeaux Saint Macaire and Bordeaux Supérieur appellations . Even though the estate has only been producing wine since 1981 with Monique and Bernard Delong, it was in the mid-1800s that these lands belonged to the Delong family. Today the 5th generation is at work, with Mathieu and Emeline, who continue to advance their different vintages thanks to their complementarity and their passion for wine! Château Majoureau is an essential address for Bordeaux lovers who want to get good deals!
