A classic wine from this estate, whose wines can be somewhat exotic in a rather le Pin-like style, the 2009 is opaque ruby/purple, with notes of blackberry and black cherry fruit, an opulent, full-bodied mouthfeel, and loads of generosity and glycerin. There are also hints of herbs and Asian spices in this fleshy wine, which is meant for consumption over the next 10-15 years.

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.
