The wine region of Pomerol
Absolute myth of the Bordeaux right bank (Libournais): signature Merlot as king red (~80%) — deep robe and opulent profile with black truffle, candied cherry, plum, chocolate, violet, leather and a mineral touch, signature creamy velvety texture and an endless finish. Fragrant Cabernet Franc as backup. Cradle of Pétrus and Le Pin. AOC (1936), ~800 ha without classification, blue clay and ferruginous crasse de fer plateau, ageing 10-50 years.
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: Garrigue
Notes reminiscent of aromatic Mediterranean herbs such as thyme or rosemary, found in many southern wines.
