The wine region of Graves de Vayres
Bordeaux AOC in Entre-Deux-Mers (~700 ha, communes Vayres and Arveyres, quaternary graves): Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon reign in reds — soft and velvety profile with solid but supple tannic structure, aromas of raspberry and fresh cherry, 3-6 years ageing. Semillon (70%) and Sauvignon in balanced and lively dry whites with fruity and floral bouquet. Semillon in late-harvest sweet whites. Accessible wines.
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: Black Grenache
Grenache is a black grape variety that originated in Spain and is one of the great quality varieties of southern France. Sometimes vinified on its own, it is most often blended with one or more other Rhone or southern grape varieties with complementary qualities such as Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan or Cinsault. Its wines are warm, with aromas of red fruits (cherry) and spices; they oxidize with time. Vinified alone or in very large proportions, Grenache Noir also makes great natural sweet wines in Roussillon (Rivesaltes, Banyuls, Maury) and in the Rhône Valley (Rasteau).
