The wine region of Loupiac
Sweet AOC on the right bank of the Garonne (Entre-deux-Mers, opposite Barsac): Sémillon signature sweet white king (~80%) — thick skin welcoming Botrytis cinerea (noble rot), signature rich, ample and unctuous profile with signature aromas of honey, candied fruits, dried apricot and white flowers, elegant structure balanced by acidity. Sauvignon Blanc bringing citrus liveliness and herbaceous touches, floral Muscadelle in complement. Style close to Sauternes.
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: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
