Arguably the most renowned wines on earth, the classed growths of
Bordeaux continue to epitomize the power and complexity Bordeaux blends
are capable of. While most wines here are based on Cabernet Sauvignon,
both Merlot and Cabernet Franc play important roles in adding layered
complexity to the finished wines, and allowing winemakers in each
commune within the region to use the blend that is best suited to their
unique combination of soil and meso-climate. The most famous communes
each have their own classic traits with St. Estephe giving full, if
rustic wines, from the heavy clay soils, to Paulliac's elegant balance
of ripe fruits, minerality and structure to St. Julien's rich
blackberry core and supple feel. Moving to the south of the region
brings one to Margaux, with it's notes of flowers and berries draped
over a feminine frame, and then to the Graves region with wines
redolent of tobacco, gravel and smoke. To the east lie the famous
appellations of St. Emillion, with it's wonderfully ripe Cabernet
Franc, and Pomerol where Merlot rules the roost and produces deep,
plush wines of uncommon refinement.
