What the name means
Bordeaux is a wine region and also the name of a protected appellation. Bordeaux Supérieur and Crémant de Bordeaux are separate protected designations, so the complete label must remain attached to the wine.

Research status
Where this page is headed
We are checking the current release, the producer record, and the bottle itself. Until that work is complete, this page reports only the facts carried by the dated store feed and shared region and grape research.
Getting to know Bordeaux.
Bordeaux spans many appellations on both sides of the Garonne, Dordogne and Gironde. The regional name gives useful context, but it cannot establish one bank, commune, blend or vineyard.
How grapes grow here
Atlantic weather and the region's rivers influence Bordeaux, but local exposure and distance from the water vary. A broad Bordeaux name does not supply the climate detail of a smaller appellation.
What lies under the vines
Gravel, clay, limestone and sand occur in different combinations across the region. Bordeaux AOP itself covers varied soils, so a producer or narrower place is needed before naming one profile.
How large the region is
- AOC vineyard area, 2023
- The Bordeaux Wine Council reported 103,200 hectares across the Gironde.
- Label resolution
- Keep Bordeaux, Bordeaux Supérieur and Crémant de Bordeaux distinct when the full designation is available.
Places within the region
- Bordeaux, Bordeaux Supérieur and Crémant
- These are related but separate protected names within the broad Bordeaux vineyard.
- Other Bordeaux areas
- Médoc, Graves and Sauternes, Entre-Deux-Mers, and Saint-Émilion, Pomerol and Fronsac contain additional appellations with their own rules.
Getting to know Merlot.
Merlot is a red grape that can make a complete wine or soften a Cabernet-led blend. It generally ripens earlier than Cabernet Sauvignon and often has a rounder structure.
Category guide
What to expect in the glass
Regional guides describe plum and other red or dark fruit, with less forceful tannin than Cabernet Sauvignon in many examples. Climate and blending can make it fresh and medium-bodied or broader and richer.
