Bordeaux

Bordeaux, in southwestern France, is one of the world’s most prestigious wine regions, known for its Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blends. The region’s diverse soils and maritime climate contribute to the complexity of its wines. Bordeaux is divided into several sub-regions, including Médoc, Saint-Émilion, and Pomerol, each producing distinct styles. The wines are characterized by their structure, elegance, and rich flavors. Bordeaux’s classification system, established in 1855, highlights the region’s top estates, known as Grand Cru Classé. Some of these wines are highly sought after by collectors and known for their exceptional quality.
