The wine region of Bordeaux Sec
All Dry white wines produced in Gironde can claim the regional appellation Bordeaux sec. The 1977 decree specifies that white wines with an Alcohol content of between 10 and 13° and a sugar content of less than 4g/l must be labelled as dry Bordeaux. The Bordeaux dry wine area covers 6,500 hectares and produces an average of 383,000 hl of wine per year. Its soils are clay-limestone, clay-siliceous, made up of gravel, sand and silt.
The wine region of Bordeaux
Bordeaux, in southwestern France, is one of the most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions in the world. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90% of the production Volume) are the Dry, medium and Full-bodied red Bordeaux blends for which it is famous. The finest (and most expensive) are the wines of the great châteaux of Haut-Médoc and the right bank appellations of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The former focuses (at the highest level) on Cabernet Sauvignon, the latter on Merlot.
The word of the wine: Sulphur
An antiseptic and antioxidant substance known since antiquity, probably already used by the Romans. But it was only in modern times that its use was rediscovered. It will allow a better conservation of the wine and thus favour its export. Sulphur also gave the 18th century winegrower the possibility of extending the maceration period without fearing that the wine would turn sour and thus go from dark rosé wines to the red wines of today. Excessive sulphur, on the other hand, kills happiness, paralysing the aromas and causing headaches.
