Château Rêves
Bordeaux, France

ABOUT THIS WINE:
Château Rêves
Bordeaux Blend
The important port town of Bordeaux is the economic center of the wine world, and the wines produced in the region have long set the standard for age-worthy, profound wines. The name Bordeaux has become widely synonymous with “red wine,” and this Château Rêves Bordeaux is a classic example of what the historic French region has to offer. There, the wines are most often a blend of several different noble varieties rather than just one grape—this takes full advantage of the different organoleptic qualities and ripening times, producing a harmonious wine that best expresses the maritime weather (gentle summers, mild winters) and unique soil of the region.
Cabernet Sauvignon, often considered the greatest wine grape, takes the lead role in this blend, providing the dense tannic structure and black currant fruit it’s known for, while the softer, plusher Merlot relaxes the structure ...

WINE REGION:
Bordeaux
Probably the world's most famous wine region, Bordeaux is a true powerhouse of French quality. While Bordeaux is home to some of the country's most expensive bottles, it is also possible to find great-value wines from small producers. Almost all red and white wines from Bordeaux are blends. Reds tend to be a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. But just as important as the blends are the quality of the region's terroir and unique winemaking techniques. The Bordeaux region is divided by the Gironde River into two main parts. Cabernet Sauvignon reigns supreme on the Left Bank, while Merlot dominates the Right Bank. White wines are usually a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
