In the south west of the country, and with a Mediterranean climate, Bordeaux mainly produces red wines – most famously, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc – but there are Bordeaux whites too, from Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle grapes. The flavours can be rustic but soft, and can vary depending on which bank of the river the grapes are grown.
