Special feature on wine producing regions: Bordeaux
About Bordeaux wine
Bordeaux is located in the west of France and is known as a world-famous wine-producing region. Although it is a relatively low-lying area close to the sea, it is possible to grow grapes thanks to its warm maritime climate, well-drained soil, and the pine forests of the Landes region to the southwest that block the Atlantic ocean winds.
A major feature of Bordeaux wine is the blending of multiple grape varieties during winemaking: red wine is made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, etc., while white wine is made from Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle, etc.
Bordeaux is also famous for its rare and expensive wines produced by famous chateaux such as Chateau Margaux, Chateau Latour, and Chateau Mouton Rothschild.
One of the attractions of Bordeaux is that it is home to a large number of chateaux, meaning you can find a wide range of wines to suit your tastes, from special, high-end wines to affordable wines.
