The Bordeaux region that produces France s famous red Bordeaux wines lies in the southern part of western France, on the Atlantic coast. The Gironde Estuary and its two major rivers, the Dordogne and the Garonne, run through the heart of the region.
Almost all of Bordeaux s great wine estates are near the Gironde or one of its tributaries. The city of Bordeaux, France s fourth largest city, lies in the center of the region
How has Bordeaux become the world s most prestigious and most renowned wine region?
The Bordelais, as the natives of Bordeaux are called, have experience on their side; wine has been made in this region for about 2,000 years. Other wine regions in Europe have been producing wine just as long and even longer, but they have not attained Bordeaux s renown.
Throughout the centuries, the Bordelais have figured out which grape varieties grow best in their place. The varieties that thrive there are among the greatest varieties in the world.
Bordeaux s superiority also derives from the region s very special terroir, its unique combination of climate and soil.
Bordeaux s reputation as a great wine region rests on its most superb reds, legendary and long-lived wines made by historic wine estates (called châteaux), which can improve for several decades. About 75 to 80 percent of Bordeaux s wines are red.
