Elegant dry whites blending Sauvignon (citrus, boxwood, freshness) and Sémillon (wax, honey, richness with ageing), among Bordeaux's longest-lived. Also sweet Graves Supérieures.

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: Tries (harvest by)
Harvesting in several successive passages to harvest at their optimal concentration the grapes affected by noble rot. They allow the production of great sweet wines.
