"Strong ruby-garnet with a deep core, subtle violet highlights, and softly watery rim. Inviting dark berry fruit on the nose, with delicate cassis, blackberry jelly, a hint of liquorice, and orange zest. Round and supple on the palate, with medium complexity and balanced tannins; accessible from day one, this has not lost any of its momentum; very appetizing, and an ideal accompaniment to food. "

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 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.
