About Bordeaux
Bordeaux, the vineyard around the city of the same name in south-west France, is planted mostly to Merlot, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, with Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle for whites. Almost all its wine is blended and most is red. On the left bank, Médoc and Graves give Cabernet-led, tannic wines built for the cellar and are home to the five First Growths. On the right bank around Libourne, Saint-Émilion and Pomerol favour Merlot, with softer tannins. Sauternes makes sweet whites from grapes affected by noble rot. The top sites sit on well-drained gravel near the Gironde, in an oceanic climate.
