Bordeaux - A Unique Winegrowing Area | |
|
Bordeaux was predestined to produce the world's greatest wines naturally. With 113,384 hectares of AOC vines, it's five times bigger than Beaujolais and there are marginally more hectares of vines in Bordeaux than in all of Australia. It has an ideal climate, moderated by the Gulf Stream, tempered by the Atlantic, with the Lands forest providing a natural wind break to protect the vineyards. The great diversity of microclimates and soils from clay to gravel, chalk and limestone suit Bordeaux's different grape varieties - Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle. |

The Bordeaux Blend & It's Wines For All Tastes | |
|
The richness of Bordeaux wines is the result of a subtle blending of these different grape varieties, combined with local skills, centuries of experience and on-going research by oenologists and technicians. The blending of different grape varieties ensures that each wine has a flavor and bouquet that is unique to each wine and unique to Bordeaux. Thanks to its scale and diversity, Bordeaux produces wines for every taste, every mood and every budget. From First Growth wines to small château and top brand names, from dry white to sweet white, red and rosé. The choice is yours. |
