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.

Perhaps the most opulent, fruity, and sexy wine of the vintage (at least for drinking during its first decade of life), Gerard Perse�s regisseur owns and farms this 5-acre garagiste property in St.-Emilion. Meant for unabashed hedonists, the 2006 is a blend of 70% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. From modest yields of 33 hectoliters per hectare, this is a seriously packed and stacked, delicious, soft, opulent claret with loads of kirsch liqueur characteristics intermixed with roasted herbs, licorice, smoke, and a hint of new oak. It will drink well for a decade.

Bright red-ruby. Liqueur-like aromas of kirsch, roast coffee, mocha, tobacco and herbs. Fat, lush and forward, with enticing sweetness to its dark fruit, chocolate and roast coffee flavors. Plush and pliant for 2006, with a rare sweetness for the yea... Stephen Tanzer. A Bordeaux Blend wine from Bordeaux in France. 2006 Lusseau 6000ml
