What to Expect

Arguably the most renowned wines on earth, the classed growths of Bordeaux continue to epitomize the power and complexity Bordeaux blends are capable of. While most wines here are based on Cabernet Sauvignon, both Merlot and Cabernet Franc play important roles in adding layered complexity to the finished wines, and allow winemakers in each commune within the region to use the blend that is best suited to their unique combination of soil and meso-climate. The most famous communes each have their own classic traits with St. Estephe giving full, if rustic wines, from the heavy clay soils, to Paulliac's elegant balance of ripe fruits, minerality and structure to St. Julien's rich blackberry core and supple feel. Moving to the South of the region brings one to Margaux, with its notes of flowers and berries draped over a feminine frame, and then to the Graves region with wines redolent of tobacco, gravel and smoke. To the East lies the famous appellations of St. Emillion, with its wonderfully ripe Cabernet Franc, and Pomerol where Merlot rules the roost and produces deep, plush wines of uncommon refinement.

Winemakers Notes

Bordeaux produces some of the finest red wines in the world. This classic red wine comes from the commune of Pujols, in the eastern part of Bordeaux. Franoise Frelin is a central figure in French organic viticulture. Her family has owned Chteau du Moulin de Peyronin since 1974, though they pioneered the sustainable agriculture movement as early as 1966 in their other vineyards in Languedoc, Domaine de Clairac.This Bordeaux is a classic claret blend, with characteristic black currant, plum and cherry flavors. Fruity, medium-bodied, with smooth tannins, it is well balanced.
