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: Côte des Bar
This is the name given to the vineyards of the Aube, which are closer to Burgundy, and some of the wines produced here bear witness to this proximity. The pinot noir dominates, the meunier is practically absent. Two crus have become references: Riceys, where a rosé without bubbles is also produced, and Montgueux near Troyes, renowned for its Chardonnay.
