The wine region of Moulis-en-Médoc
Communal AOC of the Medoc (highest point 43 m, ~600 ha): signature Cabernet Sauvignon as red king (45-70% depending on soils) complemented by Merlot (roundness, fruit), Petit Verdot (color, spices) and Cabernet Franc (finesse) — complex signature profile with fresh red fruits, cooked fruits, vanilla, cinnamon, licorice, violet, roasted coffee and undergrowth, velvety tannic frame, mellow and full. Garonne gravels east, clay-limestone center, Pyrenean gravels west.
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: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
