Country: France, Bordeaux, Pauillac
Grape Varieties: Merlot 80 %, Cabernet Sauvignon 20 %
Average age of vines: 32years old

The name “Prélude” states the ambition of this second wine to provide a true introduction to the “Grand Vin”. Made from the young vines of the estate, it receives the same care at every stage. It ensures that it is more supple and forward than its senior while showing the same qualities of elegance and harmony.

Winemaking: Following hand-picking and selection of the grapes on the vines, they are de-stalked and carefully sorted once more. Fermentation is carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel or concrete tanks. After blending, the wine is aged from 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels, 10% to 15% of which are known.

Tasting Notes: This crimson-coloured shows aromas of strawberry, raspberry and violet on the nose. The palate, full and rounded, reveals a remarkable balance, supported by good acidity which gives it freshness. An enticing wine, easy to drink, characterised by its good balance.

THE GRAPE

 

Cab.Sauvignon Blend

Cabernet Sauvignon lends itself particularly well in blends with Merlot. This is actually the archetypal Bordeaux blend, though in different proportions in the sub-regions and sometimes topped up with Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot.

In the Médoc and Graves the percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend can range from 95% to as low as 40%. It is particularly suited to the dry, warm, free- draining, gravel-rich soils and is responsible for the redolent cassis characteristics as well as the depth of colour, tannic structure and pronounced acidity of Médoc wines. However 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wines can be slightly hollow-tasting in the middle palate and Merlot with its generous, fleshy fruit flavours acts as a perfect foil by filling in this cavity.

In St-Emilion and Pomerol, the blends are Merlot dominated as Cabernet Sauvignon can struggle to ripen there - when it is included, it adds structure and body to the wine. Sassicaia is the most famous Bordeaux blend in Italy and has spawned many imitations, whereby the blend is now firmly established in the New World and particularly in California and Australia.
