"Enticing, with mint, bergamot tea, lightly mulled blood orange, melted red licorice and warmed raspberry confiture, this has the DNA of the vineyard but takes on the more open, slightly cooler feel of the vintage. The finish reveals a subtle grain, showing length and lingering minerality.—Non-blind La Fleur-Pétrus vertical (December 2015). Drink now through 2022."

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.
A tiny, prestigious Right Bank appellation famed for opulent, velvety Merlot-based wines. Iron-rich clay soils yield some of the world's most coveted and concentrated reds.
