Bordeaux Wines
It's hard not to associate Bordeaux with fine wine. For centuries Bordeaux has built its fame and prestige as a wine region of excellence. Great chateaux lie on both banks of the river Gironde, as a result of what Bordeaux wines have achieved. The main grape varieties for Bordeaux classic reds are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot complemented by Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc that produce great white wines.
Sauvignon Blanc Wines
Sauvignon Blanc is a white wine grape variety original from Bordeaux, France, where it makes a good pair with Sémillon in Sancerre. Sauvignon Blanc wines are generally associated with Pouilly-Fumé where the wine reveals a very specific flint aroma that derives from the region's particular limestone soils. A classic Sauvignon Blanc has grassy aromas with hints of nettles, blackcurrant leaf, green apples and gooseberries. Besides France, the grape makes excellent wine in New Zealand and the USA.
