"It stands to say that this will prove to be a memorable wine, sourced from old vines planted in 1904 on a siliceous soil known as silex. Its smoke-infused nose remains a bit austere for the moment, so the wine requires some aeration, but it's a superb wine of depth and density yet without heaviness. There's astonishing length on the palate. All this points towards a destiny of age-worthiness."

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.
