Bordeaux, in the southwest of France, is home to some of the most famous ch\u00e2teaux in the world of wine.<\/p>\n
Their exceptional terroir and superlative wines have long reigned as some of the most sought after and investment-worthy.<\/p>\n
The majority of Bordeaux wines are dry, red blends from Merlot, Cabernet-Sauvignon or Cabernet-Franc.<\/p>\n
The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great ch\u00e2teaux of the Left Bank (higher in tannins, alcohol and acidity, more on Cabernet) like Pauillac, Margaux, St Estephe or St Julien and the Right Bank (softer, less tannic and lower in alcohol and acidity. Merlot is the dominant grape), appellations of Saint-Emilion and Pomerol.<\/p>\n
They are complemented by high-quality white wines (particularly from Pessac-Leognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”6976″ img_size=”400×200″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
