The Médoc is the wettest region in Bordeaux—rot is a regular threat and necessitates spraying.
Out of thousands of wine regions around the globe, Bordeaux's Médoc region is the most famous, revered for its gravel soils. Gravel provides for excellent drainage while also retaining heat, which aids in the ripening of thick-skinned black grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon.
Believing there would be increased demand for red Bordeaux, growers planted the whole of the Médoc aggressively in 1990s and early 2000s. Their prediction was wrong, and many ended up in financial difficulty as a result.
Only red wines are permitted to be made in the Médoc.
