Bordeaux AOC red wines are mainly produced with cabernet sauvignon, which brings tannic and merlot structure and texture, which gives fruity aromas and elegant softness.

Bordeaux AOC wines are long-lived wines, but thanks to the good aromatic and fruity content, they can also be appreciated in youth.
