"The 2009 Saumur-Champigny Le Bourg exhibits a strongly smoky aroma and scents of black olive tapenade, sourdough bread, herbal liqueur, along with black cherries and berries. Archaically powerful and concentrated, but also beguilingly pure, fine and elegant, this full-bodied, noble and persistent Cabernet with its silky textured tannins and the well-integrated acidity, has a great aging potential for at least 20 if not 30 or more years, though it is already damned seductive. Nadine Foucault: 'A great wine is not big or heavy. It just needs intensity and finesse, not to mistake for extract and meagerness.'"

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.
