"Very good depth of color, solid core, delicate rim variation. A touch of olive, notes of dried herbs, dark caramel, orange zest and notes of cassis, and a hint of mint with air. Juicy texture, minty-lemony nuances, spicy tannins that slowly but surely are reaching the end of their viability, a touch of blackberries and a pleasant extract sweetness in the 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.
Home to three of Bordeaux's five First Growths, Pauillac is the Left Bank benchmark for powerful, structured Cabernet Sauvignon. Its wines are famed for cassis, cedar and graphite notes and exceptional aging potential.
