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: 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.
