A glance at Bordeaux And Burgundy Wines.

The regions of Bordeaux and burgundy in france are world famous for making some of the finest wines available anywhere. First we have Bordeaux, this legendary area in France close to the Southeast coast makes some of the finest and most noted red wines as well as white wines and pudding wines. Of these, the most important of the red wines come form Medoc, Saint-Emilion, and Pomerol. With the red wines of Bordeaux we sometimes see mixes including Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and on occasion a little of Petit Verdot. The pudding wines and white wines from the Bordeaux area are essentially of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillion.

The Bordeaux area is a diversified wine growing area with just about 10K wine making chateaux, and over 13 thousand wine growers. If you have acquired a property in France and wish to begin to know the best places for wine and food, look no farther than Burgundy. Beaune No trip to the area would be conclusive without a visit to the beautiful city of Beaune which is snuggled among the sleepy towns of the Burgundy region. It is commonly regarded as the centre of the areas commercial wine trade and draws travellers across the year who hope to get a taster of what the wines have to give. Beaune hostels abound but if you want wine tasting, its worth booking some way in advance. A good Beaujolais wine will be fruity and yet still be dry.
