Bordeaux Reds: Bordeaux is a world-famous wine producing region in southwestern France. Bordeaux wines are almost always blends. The most important grape varieties in red Bordeaux wines are: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Merlot.

Bordeaux produces well over half a billion bottles of wine a year, mostly red. While most Bordeaux wines are far from spectacular, many of the greatest wines in the world come from this corner of what some would call a winemaker’s paradise. (Bordeaux and Burgundy are very similar, and yet very different.)

Bordeaux White: While less than a quarter of Bordeaux wine is white, don’t make the mistake of ignoring it. The most important grape varieties in white Bordeaux wines are: Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon.
