The wine region of Montagne-Saint-Émilion
Largest satellite of Saint-Émilion on the Bordeaux right bank (1,507 ha, AOC 1936): rich, silky reds dominated by Merlot (~75%, ripe fruit, velvety texture) with spicy Cabernet Franc (~20%) and Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep ruby robe, a nose of red and black fruits, pepper, undergrowth and plum, a structured tannic finish evolving towards leather and tobacco. Clay-limestone and gravel soils on plateau and slopes, an accessible alternative to Saint-Émilion for the everyday cellar.
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: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
