The most important wine region in France, the Bordeaux region has around 7,000 chateaux constantly producing delectable wines. Bordeaux also has a huge range of wines that come out of the area. In fact, there are 21 different appellations that are produced in Bordeaux: Médoc Haut Médoc Margaux Saint Estèphe Pauillac Moulis Saint Emilion Saint Julien Cotes de Castillon Listrac Cotes de Francs Pomerol Cotes de Bourg Graves Premieres Cotes de Bordeaux Fronsac Barsac Sauternes Pessac Léognan Bordeaux aoc/supérieur Entre deux mers Located in the southwestern area of France, it makes one-third of all high-quality French wines. These wines also range greatly, from full-bodied red wines to sweet white wines. Many of the wines made here are so good that a ranking system was created in order to separate the best of the best. Though critics now question the system, it still can’t be denied that Bordeaux is a prime place to taste wine.
