"Can a white get more harmonious than this? Sensational from start to finish, building slowly from the perfectly balanced honey, citrus, earth and mineral complexity to an extended, long finish. It's all presented with a remarkably smooth mouth-feel. Great now, but better with cellaring . . . . [Only] 600 cases made. [1996 WS Top 100: Rank 33]"

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.
In the Graves, the only Bordeaux appellation renowned for both reds and dry whites. Gravelly soils yield smoky, mineral reds and age-worthy Sauvignon-Semillon blends.
