Château Recougne is a product of the acclaimed Château Recougne estate located in the Bordeaux region of France, specifically from the sub-region of Bordeaux Supérieur. This wine is a blend of traditional Bordeaux varietals including Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, each contributing to its complex profile.
