Bordeaux

Bordeaux is the beating heart of fine wine. For centuries, this region in southwest France has set the global standard for Cabernet and Merlot blends, crafting wines that balance power, elegance, and age-worthiness. From the gravelly soils of the Left Bank to the clay and limestone of the Right Bank, Bordeaux is a region defined by terroir and tradition.

While Bordeaux is home to some of the world’s most prestigious châteaux, it’s also a region of discovery. Beyond the First Growths, Bordeaux offers extraordinary value from lesser-known appellations and producers. Whether it’s a silky Margaux, a structured Pauillac, a plush Saint-Émilion, or a refreshing white from Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux delivers wines that have captivated collectors and drinkers for generations.

At TradingGrapes, we’ve selected Bordeaux wines that showcase both prestige and accessibility—bottles to cellar, to share, and to savour.

Frequently asked questions

Bordeaux has a long history of producing age-worthy, premium wines. Its blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and other Bordeaux varieties are benchmarks for winemakers worldwide.

For reds: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. For whites: Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Muscadelle.

The Left Bank (Médoc, Graves) focuses on Cabernet Sauvignon-led blends, offering structure and longevity. The Right Bank (Saint-Émilion, Pomerol) is dominated by Merlot, producing softer, rounder wines.

Yes. Top Bordeaux reds can age for decades, developing layers of complexity. Even mid-tier wines often benefit from 5–15 years in the cellar.

Left Bank Cabernet blends pair beautifully with red meat, game, and rich stews. Right Bank Merlot-based wines match roast chicken, pork, and earthy mushroom dishes. Bordeaux whites are excellent with seafood and fresh cheeses.

Bordeaux blends are often more restrained, structured, and earthy compared to the riper, fruit-forward style common in Australian Cabernet Merlot blends. Both, however, can be world-class.

In 1855, Bordeaux ranked its top châteaux into growths (1st to 5th). These classifications still carry prestige, but many unclassified estates produce exceptional wines that offer better value.

Not at all. While the First Growths command high prices, there are many affordable Bordeaux wines from smaller appellations that deliver superb quality.

Dry Bordeaux whites, typically a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, are crisp and aromatic with citrus and herb notes. Sweet Bordeaux (like Sauternes) is rich, honeyed, and perfect with dessert.
