"Minerals, earth, cherry jam, spice, and smoke are present in this wine's moderately intense aromatics. It possesses excellent concentration, medium body, a sinewy mid-palate, and plenty of size, depth, and moderate tannin in the finish. While it is fully mature, there remains a youthful vibrancy to its fruit and personality."

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.
Chateau Pavie Decesse is a small Saint-Emilion Grand Cru estate owned by Gerard Perse, sitting on the limestone plateau above Pavie and producing concentrated, powerful Merlot-dominated wines in tiny quantities.
An aromatic red grape lending perfume, red fruit and a leafy, savory edge. It thrives in the Loire and as a key blending partner in Bordeaux, especially Saint-Emilion.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
