The wine regions of Bordeaux are a large number of wine growing areas, differing widely in size and sometimes overlapping, which lie within the overarching wine region of Bordeaux, centred on the city of Bordeaux and covering the whole area of the Gironde department of Aquitaine.
The Bordeaux region is naturally divided by the Gironde Estuary into a Left Bank area which includes the Médoc and Graves and a Right Bank area which includes the Libournais, Bourg and Blaye.
The Médoc is itself divided into Haut-Médoc (the upstream or southern portion) and Bas-Médoc (the downstream or northern portion, often referred to simply as Médoc).
There are various sub-regions within the Haut-Médoc, including St-Estèphe, Pauillac, St-Julien and Margaux and the less well known areas of AOC Moulis and Listrac.
Graves includes the sub-regions of Pessac-Léognan and Sauternes (among others), and Sauternes in turn includes the sub-region of Barsac.
The Libournais includes the sub-regions of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol (among others).
There is an additional wine region of Entre-Deux-Mers, so called because it lies between the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, which combine to form the Gironde.
This region contains several less well known sweet wine areas of Cadillac and St. Croix de Mont.
All of these regions (except the Libournais) have their own appellation and are governed by Appellation d'origine contrôlée laws which dictate the permissible grape varieties, alcohol level, methods of pruning and picking, density of planting and appropriate yields as well as various winemaking techniques.
Bordeaux wine labels will usually include the region on the front if all the grapes have been harvested in a specific region and the wine otherwise complies with the AOC requirements.
There are about 50 AOCs applicable to the Bordeaux region.
Both red and white Bordeaux wines are almost invariably blended.
The permissible grape varieties in red Bordeaux are: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot.
While wine making styles vary, a rule of thumb is that the Left Bank is predominately Cabernet Sauvignon based with the Right Bank being more Merlot based.
The Graves area produces both red wine (from the grapes previously mentioned) and white wine from the Sauvignon blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle grapes.
The area of Sauternes (including Barsac) is known for its botrytized dessert wines.

Riding is another wonderful way of discovering the area and there are three riding stables that can arrange accompanied treks. Along the river are stretches where you can water-ski and various places where you can hire canoes. Castelnaud (15 minutes) has an excellent championship 18-hole golf course with a driving range, putting green, pro shop and a restaurant. Tombeboeuf has a 9-hole golf course with a practice area and a pro shop. Both golf courses have clubs, trolleys and buggies for hire.
Park Walibi, a big amusement park near Agen, is always fun for children. So is the Magic Forest in Clairac, where gnomes and animals will help them discover a magical world. Clairac also has a wonderful model train museum. The Magique Chaudron is an angora goat farm where you can buy colourful angora sweaters and the children can help to bottle feed the kids at certain times of the year, and even help with the milking and cheese making.
The Lot-et-Garonne is an area of hills and valleys with a patchwork of fruit orchard market garden farms and fields of summer corn and sunflowers dotted with ancient hilltop villages. Villeneuve-sur-Lot was founded in 1253 and the Pont Vieux, the towns main bridge across the river, dates from about that time and is still used today. Villeneuve was also a major stopping place along the old pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
Poujols stands on a hilltop, 2 kms southwest of Villeneuve, and a pleasant walk from the Porte de Pujols. The pretty, medieval village attracts many antique lovers and has a number of shops and art galleries in its lovely, restored half-timbered houses. There are two very good restaurants in the village and a Michelin starred restaurant across the valley from the village.
Penne dAgenais is 8 kms upriver from Villeneuve and another picturesque, hilltop village with a warren of tiny, steep lanes, lined with immaculately tidy stone and brick houses. Alphonse de Poitiers, the indefatigable brother of King Louis IX, founded Monflanquin, a beautifully preserved hilltop bastide and one of the finest examples of its kind, in 1256. Villereal is an unspoiled bastide town near the River Dropt, 13 kms north of Monflanquin. The Place de la Halle, the large, main central square, has a fine 14th century timbered covered market, overlooked by an impressive, twin-towered 13th century church.
The vineyards of Buzet, Duras and Bergerac are all within an hours drive. The Bordeaux vineyards, including Saint Emilion (a must) and Cahors are about 90 minutes.
