The wine region of Barsac
Bordeaux AOC of the Sauternais (left bank, unique Ciron-Garonne microclimate, gravelly or clay-limestone soils; may be labelled Barsac or Sauternes). Sémillon dominates the sweet whites (thick skins ideal for botrytis), complemented by Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris. Signature profile: ripe fruits (apricot, peach), honey, acacia; rich, unctuous, powerful palate with 50+ botrytis aromas. Decades-long aging potential; harvested in successive tries.
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: Pinot meunier
Cultivated in the 19th century in all the northern vineyards, this black grape variety has largely regressed since. Very present in the Marne valley, it constitutes a third of the vineyards in Champagne, alongside pinot noir and chardonnay with which it is often blended. It brings roundness and red and yellow fruit aromas to champagnes. Pinot meunier is also the dominant grape variety in red and rosé wines in the Orleans AOC and the rare Touraine-Noble-Joué, a grey wine. Syn.: meunier.
