"Tasted at L'Eglise-Clinet, the 2009 is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. It has a very powerful, lifted bouquet with blackberry, wild hedgerow and a touch of dried blood. The palate is medium-bodied but with very good weight and vigour. Fine purity here, raspberry, wild strawberry and a touch of spice coming through towards the finish. Great persistency with a hint of Schezhuan pepper on the aftertaste. Tasted September 2011."

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.
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.
