Bordeaux is the largest fine... by montxito
Bordeaux is the largest fine wine-making region in the world, as well as the most legendary. This sterling reputation is built mostly on red wines, especially those from the Médoc, Saint-Èmilion, Pomerol, and the famous Sauternes (sweet white) districts. Sample with sensuous delight the really great wines of Bordeaux. See what you think of the marriage of particular dishes and wines - oysters with fruity Graves, foie gras with Sauternes, shad with great Médoc vintages, game with Saint Èmilion. Taste some 'bouchons' (almond paste petits fours flavoured with Bordeaux liqueur brandy) 'pavés' (chocolate fondant) and the wonderful 'canelés' (small cakes made with egg yolks). Finally, yield yourself totally to a tour of the vineyards to learn more about the 53 'appellations' of the six great families of Bordeaux wine.
