Who makes it
Château Tayet makes red wines under the Bordeaux Supérieur appellation. Its portfolio is divided into named cuvées, with vineyard parcels, soil references and cuvée style carrying the distinctions between bottles. The range includes Cuvée Tradition, Domaine de la Baconne and Cuvée Prestige.
Where it grows
Bordeaux Supérieur is a regional Bordeaux appellation, so the label gives a broad regional address rather than a village or named parcel. The cuvées narrow that frame through references to vineyard age and soil. Older parcels shape Cuvée Tradition, while siliceous soils define Domaine de la Baconne.
What they make
Cuvée Tradition comes from older vineyard parcels. Domaine de la Baconne is the softer expression from siliceous soils, smooth and fruity. Cuvée Prestige 2020 has a relatively fruity, peppery and spicy nose with vanilla like nuances. Its palate brings minerality and juicy fresh fruit, including blackberry, raspberry and strawberry.
Cuvée Tradition is the bottle to open first. It comes from older vineyard parcels and offers woody and vanilla notes with a smooth mouthfeel. The bottle places vineyard age beside a clear aromatic register and a rounded texture.
