All About Bordeaux Wine:
Bordeaux wine, from the southwestern region of France, is world-renowned for its prestigious red wines. Here's a breakdown of its key characteristics:
Grape Varietals:
- Primarily blends red wines using Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot.
- Blending allows for complexity and balance in the final product.
Classifications:
Bordeaux has a complex classification system, with the most famous being:
- Left Bank: Dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, known for its structure and aging potential (e.g., wines from Pauillac, Margaux, and St-Julien).
- Right Bank: Merlot-dominant, known for their softer tannins and earlier drinkability (e.g., wines from Pomerol, St-Emilion).
Other classifications include Graves (white wines) and Sauternes (sweet white wines).
Flavor Profile:
- Red Bordeaux can range in flavor based on varietal composition and age.
- Young wines often have notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, and cedar.
- As they age, they develop more complex aromas like leather, tobacco, and earth.
- White Bordeaux (Graves) can be dry or sweet, offering citrus, mineral, and floral notes.
