Château Franc Couplet Bordeaux Supérieur AOC Limited Edition

The Meynaud family owns both Château Franc Couplet and Château Laussac on the right bank of the Gironde. The young and talented Eric Meynaud took over the vineyard from his father in 1995 right after he finished his studies. Since then, the winery has grown from 10 to more than 100 hectares. Eric has always tried to get the best out of his vineyards and regularly sends his wines to competitions where they have won numerous awards, not only in France but all over the world.

Château Franc Couplet is spread over limestone and clay land in the Entre-Deux-Mers region, on the east side of Bordeaux. The natural quality of the wines comes from the excellent quality of the soil. This “Limited Edition” is a unique selection of the best plots in the vineyard, corresponding to a limited quantity of bottles of Château Franc Couplet. It is matured in French oak barrels for 12 months, softening the palate and making outstanding wine.
