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: Phenolic ripeness
A distinction is made between the ripeness of sugars and acids and the ripeness of tannins and other compounds such as anthocyanins and tannins, which will bring structure and colour. Grapes can be measured at 13° potential without having reached this phenolic maturity. Vinified at this stage, they will give hard, astringent wines, without charm.
