"A brilliant sleeper of the vintage from proprietor Stefan von Neipperg (the owner of La Mondotte, Canon La Gaffeliere, and Clos l’Oratoire), this gorgeous wine possesses all the character one expects from this area. A blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with a tiny dollop of Cabernet Franc, it exhibits sweet, burning ember, black currant, kirsch, roasted herb, and hot rock-like aromas, a medium-bodied texture, soft, round flavors, and a luscious 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.
In the Graves, the only Bordeaux appellation renowned for both reds and dry whites. Gravelly soils yield smoky, mineral reds and age-worthy Sauvignon-Semillon blends.
