The wine region of Côtes de Bordeaux
Unified Bordeaux AOC (2009) gathering 4 right-bank denominations: Blaye, Cadillac, Castillon, Francs. Signature Merlot dominant in red: supple, accessible reds with signature notes of plum, ripe cherry, cocoa, undergrowth and an herbaceous touch, round tannins and a moreish palate — everyday Bordeaux with excellent value for money. Peppery Cabernet Franc, firm Cabernet Sauvignon complete. Cadillac in botrytised off-dry/sweet (honey, apricot).
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: Sweet (flavor)
The flavour provided by the residual sugars naturally present in the wine as well as by certain alcohols. This sensation can range from a simple impression of smoothness to a clear sweetness. We speak of roundness, fatness and mellowness.
