"Tasted blind at Bordeaux Index’s 2000 tasting in London. This has a very pure, very sensuous nose with red-berried fruit, wild strawberry, raspberry, a touch of marmalade and quince in the background. Very good definition with a faint hint of iodine developing with time. The palate is full-bodied, very pure and well defined, yet so linear at this point. This is a wine that retains its foetal position but what a future in store! It is so smooth and harmonious towards the elegant, feminine 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.
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.
