Bordeaux

Bordeaux, located in the southwest of France along the Garonne River, is one of the world’s most famous wine regions. Divided into the right bank and left bank, the region is known for its exceptional red and white wines. Red Bordeaux blends typically feature grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, while white Bordeaux is crafted from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle. The region also boasts Sauternes, a sub-region renowned for its luscious, sweet dessert wines, including the iconic Château d'Yquem. With a winemaking history dating back to Roman times, Bordeaux remains a cornerstone of the global wine industry.
