About Bordeaux Wine
Bordeaux wine is shaped by its Left Bank and Right Bank appellations, where Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc create elegant, age-worthy reds. The region also produces fresh Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon whites and renowned sweet wines such as Sauternes, ranging from approachable Bordeaux AOC to classified-growth chateaux.
Left Bank, Right Bank and the 1855 Classification
On the gravelly Left Bank, Pauillac, Margaux, Saint Julien and Saint Estephe produce structured, Cabernet-led wines, many ranked in the famous 1855 Classification, including First Growths Latour, Lafite Rothschild, Mouton Rothschild and Margaux. On the Right Bank, Saint Emilion and Pomerol make softer, Merlot-led wines, with icons such as Cheval Blanc, Ausone, Angelus and L'Evangile.
