PomerolAt less than 2,000 acres, Pomerol is the smallest wine producing area in Bordeaux. Despite being home to one of the greatest wineries in France—Chateau Petrus—Pomerol is not an officially ranked appellation. However, this has not prevented Pomerol from achieving high regard among connoisseurs, thanks to low production volumes and a focus on extremely high quality and age worthiness. The predominant grape variety is Merlot, usually blended with a little Cabernet Franc, resulting in wines that are more velvety and robust than other Cabernet-driven Bordeaux wines.

FranceThough French wines are the highest valued wines in the world, esteemed wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne were only enjoyed locally until 150 years ago when transportation improvements made them widely available. French wine production is governed by a strict quality-control system, which regulates the grapes used in each region and classifies wineries according to an elaborate cru hierarchy. Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc are just a few of the important grape varietals with roots in French soil.View all our items from France
