Region: Bordeaux
Country: France
Grapes: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc
Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
The most widely drunk Bordeaux in the world, and consistent for it — blackcurrant and plum with cedar and a light vanilla frame, on tannin soft enough to pour the day you buy it. Created in 1930 as a blend across the region rather than a single estate, which is exactly why it stays even from vintage to vintage. Not a wine to lay down; a wine to put on the table with dinner in its first few years.
