Bordeaux sets the reference point for blended red wine. Gravel soils on the Left Bank favour Cabernet Sauvignon; clay-limestone on the Right Bank suits Merlot. The 1855 Classification remains the leading quality benchmark.

A few to explore

Subregions

Blaye — Blaye sits on Bordeaux's Right Bank, facing the Gironde estuary. Merlot dominates on clay-limestone soils. Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux is the main red AC; Blaye AOC covers dry whites from Colombard and Ugni Blanc.
Côtes de Bourg — Côtes de Bourg sits on the Right Bank opposite the Médoc, where clay-limestone hillsides favour Merlot-dominant blends with Cabernet Franc. A historic trade port, it produces structured reds with good concentration at accessible price points.
Fronsac — Fronsac produces Merlot-dominant blends with Cabernet Franc on clay-limestone and molasse soils. The appellation sits west of Pomerol on elevated terrain above the Isle river, giving structured, age-worthy wines without a formal classification system.
Graves — Graves sits south of Bordeaux city on deep gravel over clay. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot drive reds; Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon produce dry whites. The 1959 classification covers both colours, unique in Bordeaux.
Margaux — Margaux is renowned for producing the most perfumed and silky wines of the Médoc. Château Margaux leads, with Rauzan-Ségla, Palmer, and Brane-Cantenac as notable estates.
Médoc — The Médoc peninsula stretches north of Bordeaux along the Gironde estuary. Its deep gravel beds over clay produce Bordeaux's most structured and age-worthy Cabernet-dominant reds. Home to four of the five 1855 First Growths (Lafite, Latour, Margaux, Mouton).
Pauillac — Pauillac contains Lafite Rothschild, Latour, and Mouton Rothschild. Deep gravel soils over limestone produce powerful, concentrated Cabernet-dominant wines with extraordinary aging potential.
Pessac-Léognan — Pessac-Léognan, appellation since 1987, sits on deep gravel beds north of Graves. Produces Cabernet Sauvignon-led reds and dry Sauvignon Blanc–Sémillon whites. Home to all 16 Crus Classés de Graves, including Haut-Brion.
Pomerol — Pomerol has no classification system but commands Bordeaux's highest prices. Clay soils with iron-rich crasse de fer produce opulent Merlot of extraordinary concentration.
Saint-Estèphe — Saint-Estèphe is the northernmost major Médoc appellation. Heavy clay soils retain moisture and produce Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blends with firm tannins and high acidity. Five Cru Classés include Cos d'Estournel and Montrose.
Saint-Julien — Saint-Julien sits between Pauillac and Margaux on the Médoc's Left Bank. Deep gravel over clay produces structured Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blends. Eleven Crus Classés, all Second through Fourth Growth, define the appellation.
Saint-Émilion — Saint-Émilion's limestone plateau and clay slopes produce rounder, more approachable Merlot-dominant wines. Cheval Blanc and Ausone lead the classification.
