]]> « Lafite has a soul, a beautiful soul, tender and generous. Lafite turns the earth into a dream. Lafite is harmony, harmony between nature and man, because without our wonderful winegrowers, nothing would be done ».
Baron Eric de Rothschild

As early as 1815, the broker Guillaume Lawton said of Château Lafite: "I have classified it as possessing the most elegance and delicacy and the finest sap of the three [Premiers Crus]. The position of its vines is one of the most beautiful in the Médoc. In 1855, the Château was consecrated 1er Grand Cru on the occasion of the famous Classification drawn up at the Universal Exhibition.

]]> On the site known as Roc Blancan, literally the "white rock", the Ausone estate is anchored on the hillside. A mineral theatre slowly sculpted by man: for two millennia, life, like the vine, has chosen the stone to settle. The rock, however, offers much more than a setting for the wine: it is an intimate part of it. In its limestone, the vines take root. In its underground quarries, converted into cellars since the 18th century, the barrels wait. Between silence and darkness, the hygrometry and thermal inertia culminate and offer unique conditions for maturing.

The château distributes its seven hectares of vines in small terraces. Surrounded by stone, the plots are sheltered from the wind and enjoy a perfect east-south-east exposure. The Vauthier family has watched over the vineyard since 1690, with an unchanged passion for the land. Here, everyone gets their hands dirty in the cellars. Alain and his eldest daughter Pauline, the eleventh generation of winegrowers, make the wine today, faithful to the spirit of their forefathers.

L’article Château Margaux 1er Grand Cru Classé 2010 Magnum est apparu en premier sur Riviera Cellars Wine Supply French Riviera.

]]> The Grand Vin of Château Margaux has been recognised since the 17th century as one of the greatest wines in the world.

It owes its unique qualities to the genius of its terroir and the passionate work of a succession of generations. It is a remarkable wine that comes from a combination of characteristics rarely found: finesse, elegance, complexity, density, intensity, length and freshness. Although its tannic concentration is often exceptional, it is rare to detect astringency.

The great vintages are distinguished by their formidable capacity to move us. Smaller vintages are the delight of discerning wine lovers. They have the advantage of evolving more quickly and, after a few years, they reveal, in the absence of power, the subtlety that is the prerogative of the great terroirs.

Château Margaux has an extraordinary capacity for evolution. Over the years, it has developed remarkable finesse, aromatic complexity and presence on the palate.

]]> Château Mouton Rothschild is a renowned Medoc wine estate located in the commune of Pauillac. It produces one of the most prestigious Bordeaux wines, in the Pauillac appellation. In 1973, although no modification was ever granted in the 1855 classification, Baron Philippe obtained - not without difficulty - the revision and Mouton officially joined the elite of the First Classified Growths of Bordeaux. When he died in 1988, his daughter Philippine took over the reins, assisted by an outstanding technical team, and successfully maintained her father's projects until his death in 2014. Today, his three children Camille Sereys de Rothschild, Philippe Sereys de Rothschild and Julien de Beaumarchais de Rothschild manage the estate together. Originally named "Château Mouton", it has been owned by the English branch of the Rothschild family since 1853. Every year since 1945, the label has been illustrated by a famous artist (including Chagall, Miro, Picasso...). The chateau's emblem is the ram.

L’article Château Canon Saint Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classé « B » 2018 est apparu en premier sur Riviera Cellars Wine Supply French Riviera.

]]> Situated on the heights of the Saint-Emilion limestone plateau, Château Canon enjoys an exceptional location. Situated on the right bank of Bordeaux, the superb property takes its name from the famous sailor and privateer of the King, Jacques Kanon. In 1954, Château Canon was made a Premier Grand Cru Classé de Saint-Émilion.

For a long time associated with Merlot, Cabernet Franc complements it and expresses itself wonderfully on limestone soils. Freshness, finesse and structure are all characteristics that Cabernet Franc brings to Château Canon wines. It gives subtle wines with a nice acidity. It gives them a nice aromatic length around varied and complex empyreumatic and mineral notes.

Soft on the palate, mellow and supple, the Merlots are flattering: they offer a beautiful presence and roundness in the mouth. Subtle, refined, with fine and silky tannins, the Merlots give Château Canon suppleness, smoothness and charm.
