Bordeaux

The Bordeaux region is the area that more than any other has made French wines famous in the world. This success has been achieved thanks to centuries of tradition and the pursuit of quality. The fame of Bordeaux is mainly due to red wines, 80% of production, with their imposing structure and power, but also for wines with mold or botrytized. The famous and expensive Bordeaux wines actually constitute a small percentage of total production, while most of the wines produced in the region (700 million bottles per year) are simply good wines and often very affordable.

Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot are the three main grapes used to produce Bordeaux red wines. This composition known as the "Bordeaux Blend" is now present in many wines produced throughout the world.
