Château la Fleur Pourret
Château la Fleur Pourret is a 4.5 ha property located on the famous limestone plateau approx. 250 meters from the western gate of Saint Émilion town. The property was purchased in 2002 by the famous Manoncourt family, who also own the Premier Cru Classé château Château Figeac. Precisely the joint ownership with Château Figeac, together with the excellent location on the limestone plateau, is the key to the high quality of the wine. The Manoncourt family uses the same team of viticulturists and winemakers for La Fleur Pourret as for Château Figeac, which means that the work in the vineyard and winery is carried out by absolute specialists and with much the same zeal as at Château Figeac, which would normally only be the case for a Saint Émilion in a much higher price range. Furthermore, it is the old casks from Château Figeac that are used at La Fleur Pourret, which is why both cooper work and wood quality are in an absolutely special class. The result is a Saint Émilion that to that extent overperforms in relation to the price of the wine and in relation to the immediate expectations.

Bordeaux
Bordeaux is perhaps the most famous wine region in France. It stretches 130 kilometers inland from the Atlantic coast. In 2018, 111,000 hectares of vineyards were registered, a figure that remains largely constant over the previous decade. The main varieties grown here are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc and they are used to make different wines, each producer having its own blend and proportions of mixing the varieties. Here are produced some of the most famous, most expensive and long-lasting wines in the world - the well-known subregions Medoc, Graves, St. Emilion, Pomerol and many others. Bordeaux is divided by the Gironde River on the left and right banks. Characteristic of the left bank (Medoc, Haut Medoc, Graves) is the more serious presence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend of wine, while on the right bank (St. Emillion, Pomerol) merlot predominates. In addition to red wines, Bordeaux is famous for the production of white, mainly a blend between Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, with the Sauternes subregion and the leading Chateau d’Yquem, famous for its complex and multi-layered, aromatic and sweet botrytized dessert wine.
