Bordeaux Red Wine

The Bordeaux region in France is famous for its wine production, with a long tradition stretching back centuries. It’s no wonder, then, these wines are of such exquisite quality and sought-after the world over. The region’s winemakers have had plenty of time to perfect their craft!
The most commonly used grapes for red wine are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. The region’s growers are also permitted to use Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Carménère. As with all French wine regions, wine producers can only label their wine as a “Bordeaux” if the grapes used were grown in that region. Hence, only certain grapes are allowed.
