The wine region of Médoc
Kingdom of Cabernet Sauvignon on siliceous gravel, left bank of the Gironde. Structured, age-worthy reds with signature notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, graphite, tobacco and minty hints, firm tannins. Blend: majority Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot for velvet, Cabernet Franc for perfume, Petit Verdot and Malbec. To the south, Haut-Médoc and 1855 communal appellations (Pauillac, Margaux).
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: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
