"The 2015 Clos Guillot from the Baudry family is another absolutely outstanding example of the vintage. The wine is nicely cool for this hot growing season, coming in at a very refined 12.5 percent octane and offering up a young and absolutely stellar bouquet of sweet dark berries, a touch of chicory, cigar smoke, complex, gravelly soil tones, a bit of roasted meats and a gently floral topnote. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, focused and beautifully balanced, with a superb core of fruit, excellent transparency, ripe, moderately chewy tannins and great length and grip on the complex and very, very promising finish. This is a young wine and needs time in the cellar to allow its secondary layers to emerge, but it is so cunningly well balanced that it is already quite easy to drink in its youth."

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.
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.
