Bordeaux

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most prestigious wine regions and a cornerstone of the French wine industry, renowned for its historic estates, exceptional terroir and age-worthy wines. Located in south-western France around the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, the region’s maritime climate and diverse gravel, clay and limestone soils provide ideal conditions for a range of grape varieties.

Bordeaux is particularly famous for its red blends, centred on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec also playing important roles. The region is home to celebrated appellations including Médoc, Saint-Émilion, Pomerol, Graves and Sauternes. Alongside its traditional prestige, Bordeaux continues to evolve through sustainable viticulture, modern vineyard management and renewed interest in expressing individual vineyard sites.
