| Fact: The Bordeaux region is the most important wine producing region in France and in the world. Bordeaux has about 7,000 chateaux! Very crudely the region is split in 2 distinct areas by a huge estuary the "Garonne". The left bank produces a predominantly more Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine (St-Estèphe, Pauillac, St.-Julien, Margaux) and the right bank a more Merlot-based wine (Saint-Émilion, Pomerol, Bourg, Blaye) The other grape used in Bordeaux reds is Cabernet Franc. Food Pairing: Good with red meats, game and cheese - Steak |
