To the west of France, Bordeaux, set around the Garonne and the Dordogne, has the microclimate created by cool sea breezes and warm land which makes it lush and fertile. Wines include Pomerol, St Emilion, Margaux, Pauillac, St Julien and St Estephe, Graves and Sauternes, but vintages can be unpredictable and expensive wines snapped up by investors. Recent changes however mean Bordeaux winemakers are reverting to traditional methods and the result is better value wines for everyone. We have selected wines from several sub-regions on the 'Right Bank' that demonstrate the wonderful variety available.
