Bordeaux is found in southwestern France along the border the Bay of Biscay of the Atlantic Ocean. The large Gironde River bisects the region know as the “Left Bank” and the “Right Bank”. Left Bank appellations such as Haut-Medoc, Graves, Cerons, Sauternes and Barsac are known for their outstanding red, mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, and white varietals blends, Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, and single varietal masterpieces. The Right Bank is known for their heavier Merlot blends found from the appellations of St. Emilion and Pomerol.
