Merlot (65%)

One of the world’s most widely planted and approachable red grape varieties, forming the backbone of many wines from Bordeaux, particularly on the Right Bank. Known for its generous fruit and soft texture, it typically shows flavours of plum, black cherry and blackberry, often complemented by notes of chocolate, spice and subtle herbs. Medium to full bodied with smooth tannins and moderate acidity, Merlot produces wines that are supple, rounded and easy to enjoy, both on their own and as part of a blend. It plays a key role in adding richness and approachability to Bordeaux wines, while in warmer regions it can deliver plush, fruit-forward styles, and in cooler climates, more structured and elegant expressions.

Cabernet Sauvignon (28%)

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world’s great red wine varieties, prized for its structure, longevity and unmistakable sense of authority. Naturally high in tannin and acidity, it produces wines with depth and backbone, often built around dark fruit flavours such as blackcurrant, blackberry and plum, alongside classic notes of cedar, tobacco and graphite. These qualities make Cabernet particularly well suited to ageing, where time in bottle softens its frame and allows greater complexity to emerge. While famously associated with Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon expresses itself differently across regions and climates. In warmer areas it shows generosity and ripeness, with plush fruit and a warming richness; in cooler climates, it leans towards restraint, freshness and aromatic lift. What unites all great examples is their ability to reward patience — whether through decanting to allow the wine to open fully, or through years in the cellar. Cabernet is a wine for slower enjoyment, unfolding gradually and offering more with every glass.

Petit Verdot (7%)

Bordeaux - located in southwest France, is one of the world’s most renowned and influential wine regions, celebrated for its historic châteaux, age-worthy wines, and unparalleled blending tradition. Divided by the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, Bordeaux is home to two stylistic pillars: the Left Bank, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, and the Right Bank, where Merlot takes the lead. The region’s moderate maritime climate, gravelly and clay-limestone soils, and long growing season provide ideal conditions for producing structured reds, elegant dry whites, and some of the world’s most famous sweet wines, notably from Sauternes. Bordeaux’s appellations—such as Pauillac, Saint-Émilion, Margaux, and Pessac-Léognan—are benchmarks for quality and expression. With centuries of winemaking tradition, strict classification systems, and a global reputation for excellence, Bordeaux continues to set the standard for fine wine around the world.
