The wine region of Saint-Émilion
Jewel of Bordeaux's right bank: signature Merlot reigns in reds (~60%) — charming and velvety with notes of plum, black cherry, blackberry, chocolate, liquorice and a smoky-leather touch, round tannins and lush texture. Cabernet Franc (~30%) complements (wild strawberry, blackcurrant, violet), firm Cabernet Sauvignon in a touch. Age-worthy aromas (undergrowth, truffle). Legendary AOC (1955, UNESCO 1999), Grands Crus Classés, asteriated limestone and clays.
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.
