"A hedonistic, head-turning crowd-pleaser, this dark ruby-colored, flamboyant 1999 boasts a knock-out perfume of scorched earth, smoked herbs, jammy black cherry fruit, chocolate, and roasted coffee. The wine is plump and fleshy, with low acidity, excellent purity, outstanding concentration, and no hard edges. This is a seamless, gorgeous Le Tertre-Roteboeuf . . ."

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.
