The wine region of Pauillac
Médoc capital of the First Growths of 1855 (Lafite, Latour, Mouton): signature Cabernet Sauvignon as red king (~70%) with Merlot and Petit Verdot — deep robe with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, graphite, tobacco, smoke and undergrowth, racy powerful tannins, sculptural structure and aristocratic finesse, monumental ageing 20-50 years. AOC (1936), 18 Classified Growths, ~1,213 ha on Garonne gravel ridges, near the Gironde estuary.
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: Local wine
Table wine, but with the origin indicated. It corresponds to a particular legislation: the freedom to use grape varieties is greater than for the AOC, but the quality criteria such as the approval tastings can sometimes be more demanding. The legislation is still evolving, but for the moment there are three levels: regional (e.g. Vin de Pays d'Oc), departmental and local (e.g. Côtes de Thongue).
