The wine region of Saint-Émilion Grand Cru
Higher tier of Saint-Émilion on Bordeaux's right bank: velvety, complex reds dominated by Merlot (round, silky foundation with aromas of ripe plum, blackcurrant, violet, leather, chocolate and smoke) with spicy Cabernet Franc and structuring Cabernet Sauvignon. Fine tannins, balanced acidity, ages 3 to 30 years. Notes evolving toward tobacco, leather and chocolate at maturity. AOC stricter than Saint-Émilion (yields, minimum 12-month ageing, mandatory tasting panel).
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: Yeast
Micro-organisms at the base of all fermentative processes. A wide variety of yeasts live and thrive naturally in the vineyard, provided that treatments do not destroy them. Unfortunately, their replacement by laboratory-selected yeasts is often the order of the day and contributes to the standardization of the wine. Yeasts are indeed involved in the development of certain aromas.
