"A microscopic quantity of 200 cases are produced by Tony Balu, the regisseur of Clos Fourtet, the premier grand cru classe that has made a name for itself over the last few vintages. A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2005 Pierre de Lune represents decadent St.-Emilion at its finest. This voluptuous, opulent, baroque-styled wine possesses a deep ruby/purple color, an extraordinary nose of black truffles, roasted herbs, incense, chocolate, coffee, blackberries, blueberries, and new saddle leather. It is a complex, modern-styled, enormously endowed, opulent, fleshy offering to enjoy now and over the next two decades."

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.
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.
