Most feminine Médoc appellation (Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux): Cabernet Sauvignon signature as the red king — elegant and refined with notes of cassis, blackberry, cedar, violet, graphite and a spicy touch, fine silky signature tannins, dazzling floral bouquet and aristocratic finish. Merlot and Petit Verdot complete the blend. AOC (1954), ~1,413 ha across 5 communes, 21 Crus Classés 1855 including Premier Cru Château Margaux, the stoniest Quaternary gravels in the Médoc.
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: Oenologist
Specialist in wine-making techniques. It is a profession and not a passion: one can be an oenophile without being an oenologist (and the opposite too!). Formerly attached to the Faculty of Pharmacy, oenology studies have become independent and have their own university course. Learning to make wine requires a good chemical background but also, increasingly, a good knowledge of the plant. Some oenologists work in laboratories (analysis). Others, the consulting oenologists, work directly in the properties.
