Bordeaux is France's largest fine-wine region and the global benchmark for ageworthy red blends, traditionally built from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc with Petit Verdot and Malbec in support.

White Bordeaux ranges from racy dry Sauvignon-Sémillon blends to the unctuous botrytised sweet wines of Sauternes and Barsac. The 1855 Classification still shapes how the world ranks its top châteaux.
