Bordeaux wine is also welcoming to international cuisine, it's amazingly versatile and pairs with all styles of dishes.
International Bordeaux
Bordeaux takes its name from ‘au bord de l’eau’ – by the waterside, a name that gives a clue to why it’s so well-known, and so well distributed. Since Roman times, when the town was known as Burdigala, this location on the banks of the navigable Garonne River meant wines could be shipped all around the world.
They still are, 45% of Bordeaux wine is exported to over 170 countries with 16 bottles of Bordeaux purchased every second somewhere in the world!
Bordeaux wines are known for being food friendly, their aromatic complexity and balance of tannins, alcohol and acidity making them surprisingly versatile in pairing with so many dishes.
