The wine region of Côtes de Bordeaux
Unified Bordeaux AOC (2009) gathering 4 right-bank denominations: Blaye, Cadillac, Castillon, Francs. Signature Merlot dominant in red: supple, accessible reds with signature notes of plum, ripe cherry, cocoa, undergrowth and an herbaceous touch, round tannins and a moreish palate — everyday Bordeaux with excellent value for money. Peppery Cabernet Franc, firm Cabernet Sauvignon complete. Cadillac in botrytised off-dry/sweet (honey, apricot).
The wine region of Bordeaux
World-renowned age-worthy reds, led by round Merlot (plum, black fruit) or firm Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, cedar, graphite), blended with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot for tannic structure. Structured Médoc and Graves, velvety Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Also crisp dry whites (Sauvignon/Sémillon) and opulent sweet Sauternes with honey and candied fruit. A 110,000 ha Gironde vineyard, 65 appellations, cradle of the 1855 classified growths.
The word of the wine: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
