A bit of theory

While everything is relatively clear with Burgundy and its four hierarchical levels of wine classification (see my article on Burgundy wines), the first encounter with classifications of Bordeaux wines can be quite confusing. The two parts of the Bordeaux region - the right bank and the left bank - have their own hierarchies, some of which differ in terminology and criteria, although their principle remains the same - to distinguish the best wines.

«Огненный терруар» – один из самых интригующих феноменов и популярных трендов в винной индустрии. Также данные напитки довольно редкие, а их органолептический профиль не похож ни на какой другой.

Wine maturation in the bottle is similar to the maturation of grapes on the vine: when stored correctly, the aromatic components interact harmoniously with each other and develop into interesting tertiary aromas (such as tobacco, forest floor, and dried fruits and herbs) that complement the wine's bouquet in wonderful ways.
