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

Wonderful opulent, fresh fruit on the nose, with classic botrytis notes. Balanced bouquet. The palate shows superb creamy richness and an opulent lenght with rich mineral touches.

The colour is golden yellow, limpid and brilliant. On the nose aromas of crystallised fruits, apricot, candied lemon, very ripe white fruits are revealed with a great intensity. In the mouth the attack is very supple and rich with plenty of ripe, fresh, yellow and white fruits, and loads of candied citrus. A nice balance and a great length in mouth make this wine very complex. One can bet on a great future for this bottle.
