Château Les Eyraux Bordeaux Supérieur

Château Les Eyraux is a Bordeaux wine associated with the historic vineyards of the Gironde area. The producer's commercial partner, CGM Vins, describes the wine as predominantly Merlot-based and recounts a local legend involving Viking ships arriving in Bordeaux in 888 AD. This explains the distinctive Viking longship illustration on the bottle.

The wine is described as being produced using traditional Bordeaux winemaking techniques, including controlled fermentation temperatures and extended maceration to develop colour, flavour and structure.
