"Filigreed, with fine mature notes, an elegant character, and hints of mellow spices, balsamic notes, and a touch of dried fruit in the background. Powerful and dense on the palate with ripe tannins and the restrained acidity typical of a hot vintage. The maturity is perfect; the wine is currently at its absolute peak."

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.
