Médoc
Médoc is a subregion of Bordeaux, located on the left bank of the Garonne River. It is characterized by its gravelly soils, which are well-suited for viticulture, particularly for red wine production. The region is home to several appellations, including Margaux, Pauillac, and Saint-Estèphe, known for their high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blends. The climate is maritime, influenced by the nearby Atlantic Ocean, which contributes to the ripening of grapes and the development of complex flavors.
Predominantly red wines, often blends with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot
