Bordeaux Wines
Bordeaux wine, which is produced in the Bordeaux region of southwest France, on the Garonne River around the city of Bordeaux, for many is by far the greatest wine growing region, many of its wines lie in the world’s most expensive wine cellars.
Bordeaux Wine - Selection
Bordeaux has wines for all budgets. The region is divided by the Gironde river into two distinct areas, the left bank (Medoc) produces predominately cabernet sauvignon based wines, full of black fruit with plenty of grip. The right bank (St Emilion, Pomerol) is more renowned for its merlot based wines with plum and more restrained tannins. Keep an eye out for exceptional wines in the lesser known region for a fraction of the Grand Cru prices.
The vast majority of wine produced in Bordeaux is red, with sweet white wines (most notably Sauternes), dry whites, and (in much smaller quantities) rosé and sparkling wines. (
