The wine region of Pessac-Léognan
Historic cradle of great Bordeaux wines south of the city: Cabernet Sauvignon signature king red with Merlot — deep robe with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco, graphite, smoke and signature mineral 'stone taste' touch, fine tannins and long elegant finish. Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon in racy dry whites (citrus, flowers, honey, wax) among the world's greatest. AOC (1987), Quaternary gravels, 16 Classified Growths (Haut-Brion leading), 10-30 year ageing.
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: Rootstock
American vine on which a French vine is grafted. This is the consequence of the phylloxera that destroyed the vineyard at the end of the 19th century: after much trial and error, it was discovered that the "pest" spared the roots of the American vines, and the technique became widespread.
