Unexpected Bordeaux
Discover the refreshing wines of modern Bordeaux
If you ask us, modern Bordeaux is a pretty exciting place to be! It produces a range of wine styles that cater to different palates, and it does this with such glamour and grace.
Traditionally, when thinking of Bordeaux, many of us would picture an attractive bottle of expertly crafted Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot. Something that's bold, full, well rounded and age-worthy, with grippy tannins, lashings of black fruit flavour and screaming to be paired with cheese! The reason we associate this type of red with the region is because winemakers here have done such a wonderful job of honing their production of it, but what you may not realise is that this is just one of many wine styles on offer in Bordeaux.
With the new generation of wine makers there is also a focus on making reds that are more fruit-driven and less oaky, so they can be enjoyed in their youth. The added joy is that these wines are also very affordable.
Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon are the main red grape varieties in Bordeaux, but the last 20 years have seen the growth of Petit Verdot, Carménère and Malbec. This greater diversity of grape varieties offers new possibilities to winegrowers for crafting different blends and styles. There is a Bordeaux red for every occasion!
