Bordeaux-style blend

A Bordeaux-style blend is a type of red wine made from a combination of grapes traditionally grown in the Bordeaux region of France, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. Winemakers blend these varieties to balance their flavors, tannins, acidity, and aromas, creating a complex and harmonious wine. This blending approach allows for greater depth and versatility, showcasing the unique characteristics of each grape while achieving a refined, well-rounded profile. Bordeaux-style blends are popular worldwide and are often associated with elegance, structure, and aging potential.
