Bordeaux appellations
- AOC Bordeaux: variety of red wines, dry white wines, light rosé wines, more concentrated rosé wines (clairet), sparkling white and rosé wines produced according to the traditional method (AOC Crémant de Bordeaux)

One of the particularities of Bordeaux red, white and rosé wines is that they are very often made from a blend of two to five grape varieties with complementary qualities. In red, Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon and Merlot are the main varieties, with Petit Verdot and Malbec sometimes as a complement. For the whites, the essential grape variety is Sémillon, complemented above all by Sauvignon, sometimes by Muscadelle or Colombard.
