Bordeaux is divided by its rivers, and which side a wine comes from tells you a lot about how it will taste. This trio puts that to the test, one bottle at a time.
From the Left Bank, Château Senejac's Haut-Médoc shows the structure and cassis of Cabernet Sauvignon grown on gravel. Across the water, Château Chante Alouette's Saint-Émilion Grand Cru brings the rounder, plusher side of Merlot. Finally, F. Thienpont's La Violette du Manoir comes from Castillon, one of the best-value corners of the Right Bank.
Open them side by side and the differences are easy to spot.
