What characterizes red wine from Bordeaux?

Bordeaux red wines are almost always made as blends – typically from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and to a lesser extent Malbec and Petit Verdot . The best wines combine structure, dark fruit and finesse – and are known for their ability to mature and develop over time.

Right and left bank – the difference explained

• Left Bank (Médoc, Graves): Cabernet-dominated, structured and age-worthy. Classic areas: Margaux, Pauillac, Saint-Julien, Saint-Estèphe.
• Right bank (Saint-Émilion, Pomerol): Merlot-dominated, rounder and more fruity. Classic producers: Château Angelus, Petrus, Clinet, etc.
