The wine region of Margaux
Most feminine Médoc appellation (Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux): Cabernet Sauvignon signature as the red king — elegant and refined with notes of cassis, blackberry, cedar, violet, graphite and a spicy touch, fine silky signature tannins, dazzling floral bouquet and aristocratic finish. Merlot and Petit Verdot complete the blend. AOC (1954), ~1,413 ha across 5 communes, 21 Crus Classés 1855 including Premier Cru Château Margaux, the stoniest Quaternary gravels in the Médoc.
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: Phenolic ripeness
A distinction is made between the ripeness of sugars and acids and the ripeness of tannins and other compounds such as anthocyanins and tannins, which will bring structure and colour. Grapes can be measured at 13° potential without having reached this phenolic maturity. Vinified at this stage, they will give hard, astringent wines, without charm.
