"The very suave nose wafts from the glass in a blend of dark berries, black cherries, a touch of cranberry, cigar smoke, charred, dark soil tones, cigarette ash and a whisper of the chipotles to come with further aging. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and round, with a lovely core of fruit, melting tannins, fine focus and grip and a long, elegant and beautifully balanced finish."

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.
