"Wonderfully complex and fresh, with milk chocolate, currant and raspberry on the nose. Full-bodied, with supersilky tannins and a caressing texture. Some bright acidity with the fruit on the finish. Very, very pretty. Dense and balanced. Only improving in the bottle. Excellent second wine. ['88/'98 Bordeaux blind retrospective, 2008]."

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.
