The wine region of Bordeaux Moelleux
Emblematic style of Bordeaux off-dry whites (10-50 g sugar/L), produced across the entire AOC area from over-ripened grapes (botrytised or passerillé). Signature Sémillon dominant: golden, round whites with signature notes of honey, apricot, candied fruits, citrus, vanilla and a quince touch, unctuous, fresh palate. Sauvignon Blanc brings taut acidity, Muscadelle the floral aromatic. Accessible, gastronomic style, affordable alternative to Sauternes.
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: Pinot meunier
Cultivated in the 19th century in all the northern vineyards, this black grape variety has largely regressed since. Very present in the Marne valley, it constitutes a third of the vineyards in Champagne, alongside pinot noir and chardonnay with which it is often blended. It brings roundness and red and yellow fruit aromas to champagnes. Pinot meunier is also the dominant grape variety in red and rosé wines in the Orleans AOC and the rare Touraine-Noble-Joué, a grey wine. Syn.: meunier.
