The wine region of Pauillac
Médoc capital of the First Growths of 1855 (Lafite, Latour, Mouton): signature Cabernet Sauvignon as red king (~70%) with Merlot and Petit Verdot — deep robe with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, graphite, tobacco, smoke and undergrowth, racy powerful tannins, sculptural structure and aristocratic finesse, monumental ageing 20-50 years. AOC (1936), 18 Classified Growths, ~1,213 ha on Garonne gravel ridges, near the Gironde estuary.
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: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
