More informations about the region of Bordeaux
BordeauxClairet wines are very colourful and distinctive Bordeaux rosé wines. As you might expect, they are made from the classic red Bordeaux grapes - mainly Merlot with a little help from the more "Serious" Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Despite their intense Color and Rich, FruityAroma, the wines are still Dry. With their simple structure and lack of tannin (an essential ingredient in the wine maturation process), Bordeaux Clairet wines are not suitable for aging.
