What is Chateau?
Chateau is a French word means “castle” or “country house”, but it has a much more complex meaning in wine.
It is a common word seen on the label of many Bordeaux wines and French wines. Especially in Bordeaux, it refers to a wine-producing estate, which is normally a combination of vineyards, cellars and any buildings on the property, some occasions, include a real castle.
In addition to the five top wineries, there are other Chateau wine with high quality and high CP value that you dont want to miss.

Medoc.
The essence of Bordeaux, which can be subdivided into Haut-Medoc and Medoc. The wines they make are strong and layered. For example, Chateau Loirac Cru Bourgeois 2015 Medoc It has a well-defined, fresh bouquet with ample blackberry, raspberry coulis and cranberry scents neatly integrated with the oak. The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation, quite structured but fresh with a gentle but insistent grip toward the saline, truffle-tinged finish. This is a thoroughly enjoyable Médoc.
