"The bouquet is deep and classic, offering up notes of mentholated dark berries, espresso, a bit of black truffle, woodsmoke, earth and a judicious framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is fullish, deep and laser-like in its focus, with excellent depth in the mid-palate, and impressive structural integrity on the long, complex finish."

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.
