Red Bordeaux Blends are renowned for their robust structure and profound flavors. Descriptions commonly feature dark fruits like plum and blackcurrant, though a myriad of terms has been applied to articulate their characteristics. These wines often boast high tannin levels, contributing to their firm structure.
Cabernet Sauvignon is widely acknowledged as a crucial element in any Bordeaux Blend, closely followed by Merlot. Many Bordeaux Blend wines exclusively comprise these two varieties. The remaining components—Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec, and even Carmenere in rare cases—are employed in varying combinations.
The red Bordeaux style has transcended almost every wine-producing country, with aspiring candidates seeking to emulate Bordeaux's triumph. North and South America, Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand each present their interpretations of the Bordeaux Blend. Even North African and Middle Eastern countries have crafted their expressions of this style.
