"Bright ruby-red. Explosive aromas of red cherry, roasted coffee and oak spice. Big, sweet and lush, with an eau de vie-like ripeness; voluptuous but not heavy. Offers distinct notes of roasted grapes. Low in acid and high in alcohol. Finishes with fat, sweet tannins. 'Un gateau,' says Mitjavile, who feels that this wine has the density to last well, and 'to explode over a wide spectrum of aromas for many years.'"

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.
