The wine region of Lussac-Saint-Émilion
Northern Saint-Émilion satellite on the Bordeaux Right Bank (AOC 1936, ~72,000 hl/year): rich, silky reds dominated by Merlot — ripe red and black fruits, candied plum, pepper, undergrowth and animal leather notes with age, melted tannins and velvety texture. Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot in blends. Varied terroirs: southeastern clay-limestone hillsides typical of Saint-Émilion and gravelly western plateau, generous and accessible identity.
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: Blanc de blancs (champagne)
Champagne made only from the Chardonnay grape. The expression has been somewhat overused by the intensive use made of it by certain large distributors of white table wines (or sparkling wines) who were thus seeking to promote their product.
