波爾多梅多克(Médoc)
趣味小常識
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.

了解風格
Médoc wines tend to be ruby in color, balanced and well-rounded on the palate with notes of cassis, cherries and earth, with firm tannins.
While most Bordeaux wines require aging, those labeled simply 'Médoc' tend to be lighter in style and more approachable in their youth.
Grown on gravel rich soils in the Left Bank of Bordeaux, wines from the Médoc are predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blends, but sometimes see the addition of Petit Verdot and Malbec.
