1. Bordeaux

Bordeaux, in southwestern France, is one of the world’s top wine regions, famous for its red blends made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. It’s divided into the Left Bank (known for Cabernet-based wines like Médoc) and the Right Bank (Merlot-focused, like Saint-Émilion).

The region’s diverse soils and mild climate create wines with complexity and aging potential. Bordeaux also produces world-renowned wines like Château Margaux as well as exceptional white and sweet wines like Sauternes.
