Bordeaux

The Bordeaux region is one of the most important wine territories in the world. Not only does this region reach dizzying qualitative peaks, but it has consistently maintained those results, year after year, with top-notch quality.

Centuries of tradition and pursuit of quality have raised the bar and made Bordeaux wines famous: in 80% of cases, they are imposing red wines of remarkable structure and power, but there are also examples of botrytized or noble rot wines that complete the oenological panorama and elevate Bordeaux's reputation.

Bordeaux benefits from its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. The climate is maritime: mild winters, cool summers, abundant precipitation but very well absorbed by the soil rich in stones, breccia, and sediments. The soils are highly variable on the surface, not particularly fertile, and covered by a thin layer of breccia, while the deeper layers are rich in minerals.

Regarding the classification, most wines are designated as Cru Bourgeois, but otherwise, there is no homogeneous system for the entire region.

Pomerol

The vineyard landscape of Pomerol extends over a plateau up to 40 meters above sea level, on the right bank of the Garonne River: it represents another excellence in the Bordeaux wine scene. Despite its modest size of only 800 hectares, this area produces some of the most renowned wines in the world. The Pomerol AOC is characterized by highly diversified soils, with clay, sand, and gravel, and by a myriad of small producers. Names like Petrus, La Conseillante, and l'Évangile stand out for their excellence.

Pomerol AOC predominantly features Merlot (with Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec), resulting in wines with intense ruby or garnet hues, complex aromas of dark fruits, black truffle, leather, and licorice. Powerful and soft, they have tannins that allow them to be appreciated when young and also to age for decades. The Lalande-de-Pomerol AOC, with its clayey nature, presents a profile similar to Pomerol but with an even greater prevalence of Merlot. Wines here are balanced and structured, perfect for enjoyment after a few years of aging.
