The wine region of Puisseguin-Saint-Émilion
Eastern satellite of Saint-Emilion on Bordeaux's right bank: ultra-dominant Merlot (~80%) with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon — fleshy reds with intense ruby robe, ripe aromas of strawberry, cherry, blackcurrant and plum, notes of mint, liquorice, undergrowth and dried fig, silky and oaked palate with powerful, lingering tannins. Barrel ageing brings vanilla and toasted notes. Plateau and clay-limestone slopes, round and accessible identity, average ageing 5-10 years.
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: Destemming
Operation consisting in eliminating the vegetal part of the bunch supporting the berries, its maceration with the must giving a herbaceous taste to the wine.
