 About Estate:
Region: Burgundy
Many of the names wine drinkers associate with France come from Burgundy. Chablis, Beaujolais, Macon, Cote de Beaune, Cote d'Or, they're all here. Located in eastern France, below Paris, Burgundy is often the sole stop of wine drinkers touring this country. Burgundy is known as Bourgogne in France, and has a long history in winemaking. Each sub-region of Burgundy is so different from each other that it is hard to address the region as a whole, and to make any sweeping generalities.

 About Varietal: The well-balanced nature of clarets ( another name for red Bordeaux ) comes from the subtle blend of several grape varieties. Merlot is an early-ripening variety that contributes a spicy, fruity aroma as well as roundness and softness.Cabernet Sauvignon, which ripens later, is deeply coloured and aromatic. Its tannin gives wines a remarkable ageing potential. Cabernet Franc confers a very elegant bouquet . Petit Verdot and Malbec are also used, but to a lesser degree.
