"Deep garnet-red. Racy nose of ripe, red berry fruits with subtle oak undercurrents. Full-bodied palate showing a cheeky youthfulness. Fruit flows into liquorice tones. Power framed by stuffing. Already drinking well but with the capacity to age."

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.
The Left Bank appellation prized for perfumed, silky and elegant Cabernet-based wines. Gravel soils yield claret of aromatic finesse and refinement.
Chateau Lascombes is a Second Growth estate in Margaux, Bordeaux, producing rich, ripe and full-bodied Cabernet- and Merlot-based wines from its extensive vineyard holdings.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
