Bordeaux red blends are often a harmony of multiple grapes which together yield textured, structured wines. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are the lead in most blends, with Cabernet Franc, Malbec and sometimes Carmenère or Petit Verdot included. While single varieties can dominate the wines of illustrious chateaus, the larger regional appellations of Bordeaux offer wider interpretations often at an incredible value. Blends from the Left Bank's Médoc and Haut-Médoc offer elegant and balanced wines. The Right Bank regions like Montagne-Saint-Émilion and Castillon exude dense layers of fruit. Other larger region-wide appellations like Bordeaux and Bordeaux Supérior combine the best elements of both banks into refined and juicy reds.
