Q

Bordeaux - Regulations:

A

Appellation d’Origine Contrôlee / Protégée (AOC/AOP)
Vin de Pays / Indication Géographique Protégée (IGP)
Vin de France (formerly Table Wine)

Aging Requirements:
- The best white wines typically spend a year to 16 months in barrel.

Production Notes:
- “Bordeaux mixture” = lime, copper sulfate + water—is applied throughout the region to avoid fungal problems

1855 Classification System:
“Growths” 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th - Reflect who was selling their wine for the most in 1855 according to merchants

Unlike grand cru vineyards of Burgundy, properties of Bordeaux hold status rather than the land itself, so vineyards may be classified or declassified as it changes ownership.

More Details:
The INAO awarded 1st AOCs in 1936; by 2011 = 480+ AOC , + over 50% of France’s wines were released as AOC—not intention of system’s original proponents, who wished to protect + enshrine France’s most valuable wines. Like most appellation systems, France’s AOC became a bloated category + one not necessarily indicative of quality.

Q

Bordeaux - Terroir:

A

~ General Location ~
SW of France, Atlantic Coast

~ Climate ~
Maritime - More Continental toward St-Émilion + Pomerol.
Winters = short
Springtime Damp/Wet Can = severe mold + rot
Springtime Frost Can = coulure + millerandage drop yields
Summers Can = high temperatures

Less marginal than Loire, Burgundy or Champagne, is nonetheless varied enough to produce wide vintage variation

~ Unique Features/Influences ~

  • Atlantic + Gironde estuary = moderating influences, protecting vines from winter freezes and spring frost.
  • Autumn Humidity in sweet wine districts; Graves = Celebration due to development of noble rot
  • Coastal pine forests protect Médoc vineyards from harsh west and northwesterly winds, rain is a worry, especially at harvest.

Soils BF:
Clay, Gravel, Limstone, Sand

Bordeaux - Producers:

A

4-5 Major/Well Know Producers + why/what + Soil =
Château Margaux 1G Paulliac - opulence + perfume

Château Cos d’Estournel 2G - Polished, ample, super-
concentrated, Atypical St Estèphe, 80% new oak

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou S2G st Julien - rich, polished,
dense++

Château Palmer 5G Margaux AOP- Comparison w/ Ch. Margaux, = more supple + slightly more approachable in youth, RARE 60%+ new oak

Château Léoville-Las-Cases S2G st Julien - Paulliac style
concentration + richness rather than elegance

More Details:
—-Château Margaux
Highly regarded for its opulence + perfume rather than power 85-90% Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by Merlot, small amounts: Cabernet Franc + Petit Verdot
Margaux AOP, Premier Grand Cru Classé, Médoc

—-Château Cos d’Estournel
Saint-Estèphe, 1811, 2nd growth, Médoc
St-Estèphe has a reputation for producing rugged/rustic wines, Cos d’Estournel = opposite local style. Polished, ample, + super-concentrated, atypical. Recently focused on Cabernet Sauv, up to 75-85% of blend, from ‘90s through 2002 grand vin more likely contained 35-45% Merlot. 80% new oak = rule.

—-Château Ducru-Beaucaillou
Saint-Julien, Super 2nd growth, Médoc
typically 80-85% Cabernet Sauv + ages for 18 mo. in 50-80% new oak. A Parker favorite in new millennium, modern wines are typically rich, polished, + very dense.

—-Château Palmer
Margaux AOP, château in Margaux, vineyards mostly in Cantenac, 1814 3G, Médoc
grand vin blend typically mirrors the estate’s encépagement, - nearly equal proportions of Cabernet Sauv + Merlot + small addition of Petit Verdot. Comparison with Château Margaux, wine here = more supple + slightly more approachable in youth, yet it still has the capacity for long aging. With the higher proportion of Merlot in the blend, Château Palmer rarely 60%+ new oak. élevage lasts up to 20 mo. Alter Ego includes an even greater percentage of Merlot + typically aged in 1/3 new oak.

—-Château Léoville-Las-Cases
Saint-Julien AOP, 1638, Super 2nd growth, Médoc,
Pauillac-like style of Saint-Julien, + veers toward concentration + richness rather than elegance. Cabernet Sauv usually accounts min 75% of grand vin, + top wine is aged in 75% new oak. Eestate pioneered green harvesting late 1980s + not afraid to employ modern technologies; reverse osmosis in its hunt for power, ripeness, depth— +desire to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with 5 x 1Gs
