In most of France, wines are named by their place of origin and not by the type of grape (with the exception of?Alsace). Just like a red?Burgundy?is by law, always made of?Pinot noir, a red?Bordeaux?is a blended wine composed mainly of?Cabernet Sauvignon?and?Merlot. 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 by?Cabernet Franc,?Malbec,?Petit Verdot?and 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.

Tasting Notes
Graves is a large region, extending 30 miles southeast of the city of Bordeaux, along the left bank of the Garonne River. It is the only Bordeaux appellation famous for both its red and white wines, though red producing vineyards cover well over three times as much area as the whites.
