The wine region of Montagne-Saint-Émilion
Largest satellite of Saint-Émilion on the Bordeaux right bank (1,507 ha, AOC 1936): rich, silky reds dominated by Merlot (~75%, ripe fruit, velvety texture) with spicy Cabernet Franc (~20%) and Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep ruby robe, a nose of red and black fruits, pepper, undergrowth and plum, a structured tannic finish evolving towards leather and tobacco. Clay-limestone and gravel soils on plateau and slopes, an accessible alternative to Saint-Émilion for the everyday cellar.
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: Extra-dry
