Chateau Roc de Cambes

Easily the best producer in the Cotes de Bourg appellation, Roc de Cambes’ 10 hectares of south-facing slopes are planted to 65% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc. The property has been owned since 1988 by Francois Mitjavile, and the wines are full-flavoured and powerful but retain plenty of elegance and class.

Bordeaux

Undoubtedly the most well-known fine wine region on the planet, the French wine region of Bordeaux spans 120,000 hectares of vineyard and is demarcated by the Gironde Estuary and its two main tributaries, the Garonne and the Dordogne. The region is divided into the Left Bank, for vineyards located on the left bank of the Garonne River, and the Right Bank, for vineyards on the right bank of the Dordogne. Famous Left Bank appellations such as Pauillac, Saint-Julien, Saint-Estephe and Margaux are well-known for their quality, but value is also found in Haut-Medoc and Moulis. The Right Bank is well known for Pomerol and Saint-Emilion, while the upcoming regions of Lalande-de-Pomerol and Cotes de Bordeaux Castillon should not be overlooked. Close to the city Sauternes and Barsac make some of the world's best sweet wines, while the appellations of Pessac-Leognan and Graves do a fine line in rich reds and full-bodied whites. Red Bordeaux wines are made from a blend of grapes, and the permitted varieties are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and, less commonly, Malbec and Carmenere. Very broadly speaking, Right Bank wines will have a predominance of Merlot, while Left Bank wines will rely on Cabernet Sauvignon as the primary variety in a blend. White wines, both dry and sweet, are made from Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle.

Cotes de Bourg

If you are looking for value in Bordeaux and are unsure where to start, let us gently point you in the direction of the Cotes de Bourg, an appellation that has been producing high-quality Bordeaux wines for hundreds of years. Located across the broad Gironde estuary, the appellation is higher and hillier than the flatter lands across the water, and the aspect lends a picturesque quality to the area. Soils are a variable mixture of sand, clay and gravel, and the wines are predominantly made from Merlot, though Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc also exist amongst the vines. The wines don't always have the finesse and power of the Medoc wines from the other side of the estuary, but they also don't have the price tag, and the rounded, approachable wines of the Cotes de Bourg are very easy on the wallet and well worth seeking out.

Bordeaux Red Blend

Red Bordeaux wines are most often made from a blend of grapes, officially Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Carmenere. The term is now used across the world to emulate the style of the famous blended wines of Bordeaux, and will be made in the same style in the majority of examples. When very broadly referring to Bordeaux wines, Left Bank wines will have a higher proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, while Right Bank wines use Merlot as the dominant partner in the blend.
