"From Tony Balu, the regisseur of Clos Fourtet, this is a tiny garagiste property producing approximately 300 cases of glorious St.-Emilion. Made from a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, with Stephane Derenoncourt consulting, it exhibits a dense ruby/purple color, a big, sweet nose of creme de cassis, white chocolate, charcoal, roasted herbs, and smoked meats, and a dense, opulent, fleshy style with wonderful fruit purity as well as length. This hedonistic yet structured 2006 should evolve easily . . ."

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.
