Bordeaux
Bordeaux appears in 23 articles of hers, from 2021 to 2026.
In her words
For me, Cullen’s Cabernets is extraordinary, intense, structured, age-worthy, yet still undervalued compared to Bordeaux.
A classic Bordeaux-style blend, dominated by Semillon with Sauvignon Blanc.
Why do we abbreviate Bourgogne to ‘Burgundy’, but never do the same for Champagne, Bordeaux or Loire?
Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Bordeaux in France and the Napa Valley in California but grapes from these regions can command high prices.
Malbec is one of the six grape varieties allowed in the blend of red Bordeaux wine.
The other grape varieties are; Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Carmenere - although Carmenere is rarely used in Bordeaux blends today.
