Bordeaux is the crowning glory of the wine world. Home to names such as Château Lafite-Rothschild, Château Latour, Château Margaux, Château Haut-Brion, Château Mouton-Rothschild, Château Pétrus etc. , it is a region which has more than 120000 Hectares of land dedicated to viticulture, spread over sub-regions of Médoc, Graves, Sauternes, Entre-Deux Mers and other satellites. Bordeaux wines can be red, white, roses and also sparkling. They are always a blend of different grapes varieties to hedge against climatic variations. Bordeaux is not about consistency in wines each year but is about the best possible blend or expression possible given the grape growing conditions that year or vintage. Grapes or Cepage: Red: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Carmenere White: Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Muscadelle, Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Sauvignon Gris, Merlot Blanc The first 3 grapes in each of the above form more than 95% of the total cultivation. Starting 2021 the following grapes will be allowed too. Red: Marselan, Touriga Nacional, Castets, Arinarnoa White: Alvarinho, Liliorila Bordeaux Left and Right Banks: Bordeaux is divided into two, by the river Gironde, into the famous Left Bank and Right Bank. The upper Left Bank regions (Haut-Médoc, Médoc, Pessac-Léognan) specialize in Cabernet Sauvignon dominated blends. White wine dominates the southern Left Bank with Graves producing Sauvignon Blanc, and Sauternes / Barsac specializing in sweet wines. The popular Right Bank regions Pomerol and St. Emillion, are famous for their Merlot dominance.

These brands are brought in by different importers and hence availability depends on where the importers manage to place their wines. Each retail shop would have a different availability. Big ones include World of Wines, The Wine Vault etc.
