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: Maceration
Prolonged contact and exchange between the juice and the grape solids, especially the skin. Not to be confused with the time of fermentation, which follows maceration. The juice becomes loaded with colouring matter and tannins, and acquires aromas. For a rosé, the maceration is short so that the colour does not "rise" too much. For white wines too, a "pellicular maceration" can be practised, which allows the wine to acquire more fat.
