Bordeaux - The intermediating name in the world of wine.What makes this wines so unique?What is the history behind the beautiful Château's? To un reveal this mystery we visited some of the legends.
To understand this prestigious wine producing region three simple mysteries have to be solved.
1) History of this hidden place - Around 50 million years ago the Aquitaine bassin was a vast tropical sea. Throughout millions of years the surging water drained vast quantities of sediments which gradually accumulated to form soil and sub soil.
The soil mostly consist of sand,gravel,clay, limestones and pebbles usually called gravel,clay and limestone terroir ideally suited for winemaking to produce distinctive character and exceptional quality.
2) Sun,Sea and Sky - Nestled between Atlantic and Gironde estuary benefits from temperate climate particularly favourable for vines. Relatively forming warm, humid climate with good amount of sun and cool breezes this unique climatic variation is essential for crafting of great vintages.
3) Blending - The secret of blending of several different grape varieties is one of the major factor which was started here. This makes the wines rich, diverse and pleasurable to drink.
The major grape varieties are :-
Cabernet Sauvignon - Finesse, Complexity and great ageing potential.
Merlot - All round fruity,fresh and mellow.
Cabernet Franc - Richness of bouquet and its brilliant colour.
Petite Verdot - Small quantity adds vivacity to the wines.
Well Malbec and Carmenère varieties little used generally add some interesting touch.So if you are drinking red bordeaux you are most probably drinking this varietals.
Stay tuned for the big classification of 1855 in the next post💪🏼💪🏼🍷🍷
