"This microscopic estate (4,000 bottles produced) consists of slightly more than 2 acres of a pre-phylloxera, 150-year-old vineyard planted with Merlot, Malbec, Carmenere, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Clos Louis’s debut vintage is 2003, and their consulting oenologist is the brilliant Claude Gros (the maitre behind the Negly wines from the Languedoc). Soft, exotic, opulent, and round, the 2003 possesses terrific purity, admirable density, silky tannin, and a gorgeous dark ruby/purple color. This [is a] fragrant, full-bodied offering . . ."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
