The wine region of Saint-Julien
Médoc AOC, perfect balance between Pauillac and Margaux (Bordeaux, 11 Crus Classés 1855): signature Cabernet Sauvignon as red king (~61%) with Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc — almost black dark ruby robe with intense signature notes of blueberry, blackcurrant, blackberry, plum evolving into liquorice, tobacco, truffle and leather, infinitely elegant melting silky tannins, dense, refined and velvety. AOC (1936), Garonne gravel, decade-long ageing.
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.
