Bordeaux
Bordeaux, located near the
Atlantic coast in the southwest of France, is one of the most important
winemaking region in the world. Bordeaux accounts for 34% of all French
wine exports. The top wines of Bordeaux are considered the best in the
world.
The climate of the Bordeaux
region is generally temperate, with a short winter and high humidity
due to the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean.

the Bordeaux region for centuries, probably even before the arrival
of the Romans. The primary wines produced in the region are Cabernet
Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc, and Semillon.
