The wine region of Graves
Historic cradle of Bordeaux wine, left bank south of the city. Structured reds on siliceous gravel: firm cassis-laden Cabernet Sauvignon, velvety Merlot, perfumed Cabernet Franc, signature notes of black fruit, smoke, graphite and cigar box. Elegant dry whites blending Sauvignon (citrus, boxwood, freshness) and Sémillon (wax, honey, richness with ageing), among Bordeaux's longest-lived. Also sweet Graves Supérieures.
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: Sulphur
An antiseptic and antioxidant substance known since antiquity, probably already used by the Romans. But it was only in modern times that its use was rediscovered. It will allow a better conservation of the wine and thus favour its export. Sulphur also gave the 18th century winegrower the possibility of extending the maceration period without fearing that the wine would turn sour and thus go from dark rosé wines to the red wines of today. Excessive sulphur, on the other hand, kills happiness, paralysing the aromas and causing headaches.
