Bordeaux

Few regions have shaped wine like Bordeaux. On the Left Bank, Cabernet Sauvignon gives structured, age-worthy claret, while Right Bank Merlot is softer and more generous. Add fresh Sauvignon Blanc, rich oak-aged whites from Pessac-Léognan and the honeyed sweet wines of Sauternes, and there's a bottle for every occasion, from midweek suppers to the cellar.
