BORDEAUX THE WINES

Bordeaux Wines

The Bordeaux region produces such a diversity of wines that there is certain to be a wine to suit most drinkers.

Medoc and St Emilion

In the Medoc, the grand wines of St Estephe, Pauillac, St Julien and Margaux are dominated by the power of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety while the vineyards of Pomerol and St Emilion produce softer wines dominated by the richness of the Merlot.

Graves

In the Graves they produce quality red wines based on Cabernet and Merlot and premium dry white wines based on Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. In Sauternes, it is the noble rot, Botrytis Cinerea, that afflicts the Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes to produce the intense sweet wines of this appellation.
