They include white blends that range from light, crisp and quaffable, to big and beautifully defined, usually featuring the Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The red wines of Bordeaux are also more diverse than they may at first appear. Not only do they range from easy-drinking and approachable to layered and powerful, but the “Bordeaux Blend” produces different results in different parts of this large and geographically diverse region, with different grapes (usually Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon) taking the lead. And Bordeaux is also home to some of the world’s greatest dessert wines!
