"Dark red. Good intensity. Slight evolution. Clean. Medium intensity. Fruity. Notes of resin and pine. A touch of smoke. Pretty. Seems to come from a new barrel. Medium intensity. Fruity. A touch of curry. Creamy. Really pure and quite complex. So different from the last time. A suave entry on the palate, developing a caressing structure of melted tannin. The finish is aromatic and the body is medium. Served with veal, this rather light red wine is delicious."

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.
The Left Bank appellation prized for perfumed, silky and elegant Cabernet-based wines. Gravel soils yield claret of aromatic finesse and refinement.
Chateau Lascombes is a Second Growth estate in Margaux, Bordeaux, producing rich, ripe and full-bodied Cabernet- and Merlot-based wines from its extensive vineyard holdings.
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.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
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.
A deeply colored, tannic Bordeaux blending grape adding color, structure and floral, spicy complexity in small proportions.
