A new cuvée for Uchida, Classical M is 100% Merlot from 40–80-year vines on clay-limestone soils in Cissac-Médoc. Deeper and more structured than his Cabernet, it retains the same elegant purity at a refreshing 13.5% abv. Hand-destemmed, naturally fermented, and aged two years in 500L barrels, the tannins are now finely integrated but built for a decade of graceful aging.

More about

Uchida grew up in Hiroshima, Japan, where his parents owned a wine shop and his grandfather grew rice.

Determined to be a winemaker, Osamu moved to Bordeaux in 1999 to study viticulture and oenology for a few years before working at various places, included Clusel-Roch in Côte-Rotie. After a few years, Osamu moved back to Japan to save money so he could return to France to make his own wine.

Friends advised him to choose any region but Bordeaux. Osamu chose Bordeaux. Then they told him the right bank was the best place in be. Osamu chose the left – next to Mouton!

Osamu farms biodynamically. He works on a micro-scale and makes a few cuvées from tiny plots, which are in total about 2.4 hectares.
