Bordeaux and Bordeaux Supérieur Wine
Bordeaux is such a vast appellation that it covers a wide variety of terroirs and wine styles.
Bordeaux red wines are often blends of several grape varieties, offering a balance between fruitiness, tannins, and structure. Bordeaux Supérieur is an appellation that imposes stricter production criteria, such as lower yields and longer aging, resulting in more concentrated and complex wines.
The Most Common Grape Varieties in Bordeaux and Bordeaux Supérieur
The most common grape varieties in Bordeaux red wines are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec.
Merlot, often dominant in blends, is appreciated for its aromas of red fruits and plums, as well as its roundness on the palate. Cabernet Sauvignon adds structure and notes of blackcurrant, spice, and cedar. Cabernet Franc, meanwhile, adds aromas of raspberry, violet and pepper, while Petit Verdot and Malbec contribute complexity and color to the wines.
Characteristics of Bordeaux and Bordeaux Superior Red Wines
Bordeaux red wines are distinguished by their balance between fruitiness, tannins, and acidity. They offer a diverse aromatic palette, ranging from notes of red and black fruits to aromas of spice, cedar, and tobacco. On the palate, they are generally structured and elegant, with a lingering and pleasant finish. Bordeaux Supérieur wines, thanks to their longer aging, often exhibit greater complexity and better aging potential.
What to eat with a Bordeaux Red ?
