"This tiny garagiste estate of 7.5 acres produces fewer than 1,000 cases of a 90% Merlot / 10% Cabernet Franc blend. Stephane Derenoncourt is the consultant, which almost guarantees the fabulous quality that has been emerging routinely from this tiny property. The 2004 Lucia offers super-ripe blueberry and blackberry fruit intermixed with notes of charcoal fires, terrific texture, and a flamboyant, modern-styled personality. Complex and authoritatively flavored . . ."

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.
