Bordeaux wines make great holiday gifts, but it can be tough to know which bottles to buy. Luckily, we've done the legwork for you. Here are some excellent Bordeauxs that come highly recommended by our staff!
The Best Bordeaux Wine Selection Online
Red Bordeaux wine is almost always blended, with two major grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot) making up the bulk of the wine, and potentially small quantities of Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot and/or Carmenere can be added. White wine from Bordeaux will also be blended, predominantly with Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon.
The blend and style will vary depending from which Bordeaux wine region the grapes are sourced, with softer Merlot-driven reds coming out of the Right Bank, more muscular Cab-driven reds from the Left Bank and the best crisp whites from between the two rivers.
