The wine region of Barsac
Bordeaux AOC of the Sauternais (left bank, unique Ciron-Garonne microclimate, gravelly or clay-limestone soils; may be labelled Barsac or Sauternes). Sémillon dominates the sweet whites (thick skins ideal for botrytis), complemented by Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris. Signature profile: ripe fruits (apricot, peach), honey, acacia; rich, unctuous, powerful palate with 50+ botrytis aromas. Decades-long aging potential; harvested in successive tries.
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: pH
Short for "hydrogen potential", the pH is a parameter that defines whether a medium is acidic or basic. A high pH gives a soft wine, a very low pH translates into a wine that is too acidic.
