About Wines from Medoc, Bordeaux, France
Best wine supplier in Philippines discusses wine related topics
The landscape of the Médoc, a slice of land northwest of Bordeaux wedged between the forests bordering the Atlantic coast and the Gironde estuary, is itself rather monotonous: its gravel plains, occupying the west bank of the brown, island-spotted estuary, rarely swell into anything resembling a hill. Paradoxically, however, this poor soil is ideal for viticulture – vines root more deeply if they don’t find the sustenance they need in the topsoil and, firmly rooted, they are less subject to drought and flooding. The region’s eight appellations produce only red wines, from the grape varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and, to a lesser degree, Petit Verdot. Cabernet Sauvignon gives body, bouquet, colour and maturing potential to the wine, while Merlot gives it its “animal” quality, making it rounder and softer. The D2 wine road, heading off the N15 from Bordeaux, passes through Margaux, St-Julien, Pauillac and St-Estèphe and, while the scenery might not be stunning, the many famous – albeit mostly inaccessible – châteaux are.
The problem of accommodation is much worse in the Médoc than in the rest of the wine region, but it’s possible to visit the area on a day-trip from Bordeaux. Considering it’s one of the most prestigious wine-growing areas in Bordeaux, it’s surprisingly unwelcoming to visitors, with places to eat, and particularly affordable ones, also in short supply. There are regular bus services to Pauillac, but it’s worth considering car rental.
