Weekly Tasting: Bordeaux Tasting

  • The Modern Cellar 9969 Walker Street Cypress, CA, 90630 United States (map)

OVERVIEW:


Bordeaux wine is known for its quality and reputation as one of the world's most important wine regions. Here are some reasons why Bordeaux wine is so special: 

  • Aging potential

    Bordeaux wines are known for their ability to age well, with some Médocs able to last for a century in the bottle. The aging process softens the tannins and blends the wine's components, resulting in a complex and well-rounded flavor. 

  • Diverse geography

    Bordeaux's varied soils, climate, and weather contribute to the diversity of its wines. For example, gravel soils are well-suited to Cabernet Sauvignon, while clay soils are ideal for Merlot. 

  • Winemaking expertise

    The region's winemaking tradition and the expertise of its farmers and fermenters are centuries old. 

  • Prestige

    Bordeaux wines are associated with prestige and exclusivity, and some of the most expensive wines in the world come from the region. 

  • Collectible

    Many Bordeaux wines are highly collectible and can sell for thousands of dollars at auction. 

Bordeaux is the world's largest fine-wine producing region. It produces nearly 90% red wine, but also some excellent white wines. 

Wines TBD
