Bordeaux is one of the most extensive, and perhaps the most famous of the wine-producing regions of France. Producing over 700 million wine bottles each year, Bordeaux is the largest wine-producing region in the world. Bordered by the Atlantic coastline and traversed by three major rivers, the area has a fair climate which lends itself well to the creation of great wines.
Over 80% of the wines produced in Bordeaux are red, made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes. Petite Verdot and Malbec are also common. Although known for producing some of the world’s best red wine, the region also produces a wide variety of white, sweet and sparkling wines as well. The wine from Bordeaux encompasses everything from everyday table wine, to some of the most expensive wines in the world. Like most of the country, wine bottles here are labeled by the region in which the grapes have been harvested, and not the grape varietal.

BN#177783 |
|
A tasty, opulent 2005 from proprietress Helene Garcin, this sexy wine exhibits a dense ruby/purple color followed by a sweet bouquet of licorice, black cherries, blackberries, oak, and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, opulent, fleshy, and disarming, it will drink well in 2-3 years, and should age for 12-15. By the ... more

Christian Moueix Saint Emilion 2005
|
| we88 |
BN#234712 |
|
85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. Typical of its appellation, the wine reflects the three distinctive characters of its terroirs - a mineral top note from the chalky plateau, heavier and tannic elements from the clayey hillsides and a few easier components showing great ripeness from the sandy soils in ... more

Château Haut-Beausejour St. Estephe 2006
|
| we89 |
BN#264663 |
|
Three elements, already in balance, contribute to the success of this wine. First, the rich fruit, juicy blackberry and mulberry, lifted by acidity. Second, the new wood, which spices the fruit but is already smoothing out the third element, the dark firm tannic layer. more

Château de Valandraud Saint Emilion 1996
|
| wa91 |
BN#123470 |
|
This 1996 Valandraud has firmed up significantly since bottling. Unfined and unfiltered, this viscous wine displays the tell-tale thickness of color (saturated dark ruby/plum/purple). The wine's exotic bouquet is just beginning to form, offering up notes of iodine, roasted coffee, jammy black fruits, and pain grille. In the mouth, it ... more

|
| wa93ws93 |
BN#123610 |
|
The debut vintage for La Gomerie, the 1995 Le Pin-look-alike is showing fabulously well after bottling. The color is dense ruby/purple, and the nose offers up exotic aromas of Asian spices, soy, coffee, and ripe berry/cherry fruit. This full-bodied, thick, unctuously-textured wine is marvelously concentrated, with plenty of sweet, well-integrated ... more
