Visionary winemaker Don Melchor Concha y Toro takes vines from the famous French region of Bordeaux and is the first to plant them in Pirque, at the foot of the Andes mountain range. In this singular sector of the Maipo Valley Don Melchor build his family's summer house and founds Vina Concha y Toro.

At a time when high-quality Chilean wines are still little explored the renowned French wine master Emile Peynaud considered the father of modern winemaking i- tries a Cabernet Sauvignon from Puente Alto in the Maipo Valley and immediately recognises the excellence of this terroir. He suggests that his closest collaborator Jacques Boissenot, advisor to famous French chateaux, lead the project to bring Don Melchor wine to life. Jacques Boissenot continues working with Don Melchor until the 2or3 vintage, then his son Eric Boissenot takes over to continue his legacy, working alongside Don Melchor winemaker Enrique Tirado.

Tasting Note: This deep purple-coloured wine is aromatically very expressive, complex and intense with red fruit and berry aromas and floral notes of violets. It fills the mouth, displaying depth throughout, with a smooth entry great energy and breadth, and a long, expressive finish. With its elegant mouthfeel, this wine showcases harmony depth and elegance.

"Deep and serious with black olives, blackberries, blueberries, tobacco leaf, sweet red capsicum, ash, dried meat and a hint of black chocolate. This is a more direct, full-bodied Don Melchor, filled with solid blackberries and wrapped by tight, fine-grained tannins. Long and deep."- James Suckling
