Bordeaux varietals

Bordeaux varietals are types of grapes used to make wine in the Bordeaux region of France. The main red grapes are Merlot, which produces soft, fruity wines; Cabernet Sauvignon, known for boldness and tannins; and Cabernet Franc, adding aromatic and spicy notes. For white wines, Sauvignon Blanc offers crispness and citrus flavors; Sémillon brings richness and honeyed tones; and Muscadelle adds floral aroma. These grapes are often blended to create complex wines with a balance of fruit, structure, and elegance, reflecting the diverse terroir of Bordeaux.
