Chateau Du Pin Bordeaux 2016 750 ML

In most of France, wines are named by their place of origin and not by the type of grape (with the exception ofAlsace). Just like a redBurgundyis by law, always made ofPinot noir, a redBordeauxis a blended wine composed mainly ofCabernet SauvignonandMerlot. Depending on the laws of the village from which the grapes come, the conditions of the vintage and decisions of the winemaker, the blend can be further supported byCabernet Franc,Malbec,Petit Verdotand in rare cases,Carmenere. So popular and repeated has this mix of grape varieties become worldwide, that the term, Bordeaux Blend, refers to a wine blended in this style, regardless of origin.
