Bordeaux Wine
Bordeaux is one of the most recognised wine regions in the world. It is especially known for Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot-based red blends, classified growths, château identity and a strong international trade history.
Key Bordeaux areas
Important Bordeaux references include Médoc, Haut-Médoc, Margaux, Pauillac, Saint-Julien, Saint-Estèphe, Saint-Émilion, Pomerol, Graves, Pessac-Léognan and Sauternes.
Wine style
Left Bank wines are often associated with Cabernet Sauvignon-led structure, while Right Bank wines are often Merlot-led with softer fruit and generous texture. Sweet wines from Sauternes add another important Bordeaux category.
