Bordeaux

Bordeaux becomes readable when the Garonne, Dordogne and Gironde do the sorting: Cabernet to the left, Merlot to the right, with important dry and sweet whites in the south.

Bordeaux is a region of blends and riverbanks. The Gironde estuary and the Garonne and Dordogne rivers divide the map into useful families. Gravelly parts of the Left Bank favour Cabernet Sauvignon-led reds. Clay and limestone on the Right Bank give Merlot and Cabernet Franc larger roles. Between and south of the rivers, dry whites and botrytised sweet wines complete a region much broader than its famous château reds.

The rivers set up four conversations

Médoc and Graves make the Left Bank case, with Cabernet-led reds and, in Graves, serious dry whites. Saint-Émilion, Pomerol and Fronsac show the Merlot and Cabernet Franc side of the Right Bank. Entre-Deux-Mers is the everyday dry-white heartland. Sauternes and Barsac turn Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and noble rot into concentrated sweet wine.

Most useful bottles sit below the famous names

Bordeaux and Bordeaux Supérieur reds, Entre-Deux-Mers whites, the Côtes appellations and less celebrated communes give the regional grammar at approachable prices. Cru bourgeois and other estate or collective classifications can help within parts of the map, but they are not one universal quality ladder. Begin with appellation and producer before chasing a historic rank.

Read the label

The appellation tells you the blend's direction

Bordeaux labels usually foreground the château and appellation, not the grapes. Pauillac suggests Cabernet-led Médoc. Saint-Émilion points toward Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Pessac-Léognan can be red or dry white, so colour matters. Sauternes means sweet white. Grand vin generally means an estate's principal wine, while second wines offer a different selection under another label.

A useful way in

Taste one bank against the other

Choose a Haut-Médoc or Médoc and a Fronsac, Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux or Saint-Émilion satellite at a similar price. The first should make the Cabernet and gravel idea visible; the second should show the rounder Merlot-led frame. Add a dry Graves white later and Bordeaux stops looking like a red-only region.
