"Probably the best Belair of the last 10 or so years, this dark ruby has a tight but promising nose of loamy soil scents intermixed with crushed stone, red currants, and sweet and sour cherries. The wine is medium-bodied, relatively high in tannin, with an austere, somewhat attenuated 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.
