The wine region of Pessac-Léognan
Historic cradle of great Bordeaux wines south of the city: Cabernet Sauvignon signature king red with Merlot — deep robe with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco, graphite, smoke and signature mineral 'stone taste' touch, fine tannins and long elegant finish. Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon in racy dry whites (citrus, flowers, honey, wax) among the world's greatest. AOC (1987), Quaternary gravels, 16 Classified Growths (Haut-Brion leading), 10-30 year ageing.
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: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
