Ephemera
Bordeaux, France
This full-bodied blend is the ultimate indulgence
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Ephemera
Bordeaux Blend
The region of Bordeaux, long heralded as the economic center of the wine world, straddles the Garonne River as it flows into the Atlantic Ocean. The rich deposits left by the river have resulted in two main soil types in Bordeaux.

Here the warm temperatures are balanced by the cool air of the Atlantic so grapes can ripen slowly, reaching a depth of concentration and complexity not achievable anywhere else in the world. The formidable tannins of the Cabernet Sauvignon are slightly mellowed by the inclusion of the softer, silkier Merlot.

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.
