The wine region of Barsac
Bordeaux AOC of the Sauternais (left bank, unique Ciron-Garonne microclimate, gravelly or clay-limestone soils; may be labelled Barsac or Sauternes). Sémillon dominates the sweet whites (thick skins ideal for botrytis), complemented by Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris. Signature profile: ripe fruits (apricot, peach), honey, acacia; rich, unctuous, powerful palate with 50+ botrytis aromas. Decades-long aging potential; harvested in successive tries.
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: Petite arvine
An ancient white grape variety from the Valais (Switzerland), which produces renowned wines suitable for ageing. Viney and sustained by a strong vivacity, these wines express a fine salty touch, the signature of this variety. Petite arvine wines can be dry, tender or made from withered grapes from late harvesting. Syn.: arvine.
