The Bordeaux region is the area that, more than any other, has made French wines famous throughout the world. This success has been achieved thanks to centuries of tradition and the pursuit of quality. Bordeaux's fame is mainly due to its red wines, 80% of production, with their impressive structure and power, but also to its mulled or botrytised wines. The famous and expensive Bordeaux wines actually make up a very small percentage of the total production, while most of the wines produced in the region (700 million bottles a year) are simply good wines and often very affordable.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot are the three main grapes used to produce the red wines of Bordeaux. This composition known as 'Bordeaux blending' is now present in many wines produced worldwide.
