"Bright yellow with green highlights. Still very underdeveloped on the nose, with nuances of apricot confection, candied orange peel, fine floral honey with lanolin, delicate oak spice, nuances of ripe figs, and fine herbs. On the palate, mineral, fine citrus notes, pleasantly salty, finely structured, the residual sugar is barely noticeable, still completely embryonic, very juicy, creamy texture, racy acid structure following on lemongrass and citrus zest, sweet echoes of stone fruits, complex and persistent, all with great promise for the future. A potential classic."

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.
Produces the world's most celebrated sweet wines, made from Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc affected by noble rot. Rich, honeyed and remarkably long-lived, they balance sweetness with vibrant acidity.
Yields crisp, aromatic whites with citrus, herb and grassy notes. It shines in the Loire, Bordeaux blends and around the world for its refreshing zip.
Prized both for age-worthy dry whites and, when affected by noble rot, the great sweet wines of Sauternes. It offers waxy texture and honeyed depth.
