Bordeaux, the world's wine capital

Bordeaux is a wine empire. Bordeaux is home to some of the world's finest and most sought-after wines, including Château Cheval Blanc, Château Figeac and Pétrus.

Located in south-west France, close to the Atlantic Ocean, Bordeaux enjoys a moderate maritime climate. Bordeaux has 111,000 hectares of vineyards producing an average of 800 million bottles a year. There are more than 7,000 vineyard estates and the average estate size is less than 20 hectares, around three times the average estate size in Burgundy.

Plantings are dominated by Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc for red wine, and Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon for white wine. Some estates also include a few plots of Petit Verdot and Carménère for red wine and Muscadelle for white wine. Bordeaux is divided into two main areas: the Left Bank and the Right Bank, bounded by the Garonne and Dordogne rivers. 30% of production is premium wine. Several classification systems have been set up in Bordeaux, the most famous being that of 1855.

Key concepts for understanding and ordering Bordeaux wines

Bordeaux's success story began in the 17th century, when the Médoc peninsula, initially a marshy area unsuitable for winegrowing, was transformed into a wine-producing region.
