"Full ruby-red. Fresh aromas of violet, bitter chocolate and licorice. Dense, lively and intensely flavored, with flavors of plum, currant, leather and roasted stones enlivened by the wine firm mineral spine. Finishes with nicely ripe tannins. Bouard prunes the vines low, "a la Medocaine," on this stony portion of this estate, and does not remove leaves because the heat stored up by the stones might well burn the fruit."

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.
