The wine region of Côtes de Bordeaux
Unified Bordeaux AOC (2009) gathering 4 right-bank denominations: Blaye, Cadillac, Castillon, Francs. Signature Merlot dominant in red: supple, accessible reds with signature notes of plum, ripe cherry, cocoa, undergrowth and an herbaceous touch, round tannins and a moreish palate — everyday Bordeaux with excellent value for money. Peppery Cabernet Franc, firm Cabernet Sauvignon complete. Cadillac in botrytised off-dry/sweet (honey, apricot).
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: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
