'The flagship example of high-class generic Bordeaux that is impeccably well-made by a driven proprietor, this blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon was fashioned from meager yields of 26 hectoliters per hectare. It enjoys such state-of-the-art winemaking techniques as malolactic in barrel, microbullage, and no fining or filtration. A dense ruby/purple color is followed by sweet aromas of black currants, espresso roast, chocolate, and new oak. Textured and medium-bodied, with excellent purity as well as a long, concentrated, expansive mid-palate and finish, this [is an] elegant, pure 2001 . . ."

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.
