"This deep, ink-colored elixir displays blackberry, truffle, coffee, smoke, and mineral notes in the perfume. The palate enjoys being slathered in layers of rich, ripe, blackberry, black cherry and boysenberry flavors. The pure, velvety, decadent finish remains for over 40 seconds."

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.
Chateau Bellevue-Mondotte is a Saint-Emilion garage-style micro-cuvee produced by Gerard Perse, owner of Chateau Pavie, made in minuscule quantities in a rich, opulent, densely concentrated style.
An aromatic red grape lending perfume, red fruit and a leafy, savory edge. It thrives in the Loire and as a key blending partner in Bordeaux, especially Saint-Emilion.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
