Bordeaux production region
The Bordeaux region in southwestern France is one of the world’s most renowned wine-producing areas. It features a diverse landscape of rolling hills, rivers, and clay and limestone soils that contribute to the complexity of its wines. The region is famous for producing high-quality red, white, and sometimes rosé wines, with Bordeaux reds primarily made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc grapes. It includes several sub-regions or appellations, each with unique characteristics. Bordeaux’s long history, climate, and soil diversity create ideal conditions for cultivating grapes that develop rich flavors and balance, making it a hallmark of fine French wine.
