The wine region of Cadillac
Sweet AOC of Entre-deux-Mers, right bank of the Garonne: signature Sémillon as sweet white king (70%) susceptible to botrytis cinerea, Sauvignon Blanc (20%, freshness and acidity) and Muscadelle (10%, delicate floral aromas) — golden robe evolving toward amber, signature rich suave and powerful profile with aromas of ripe fruits (apricot, peach), honey, flowers (acacia), honeysuckle and vanilla, long aging. Gravels, clay-limestone and boulbènes, morning mists favouring botrytis.
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: Over-ripeness
Characteristic of grapes harvested late, rich in sugar, which give wines often mellow and marked by candied aromas.
