Chateau Valandraud, St. Emilion Grand Cru Classé 2015 tinta-amarela This cuvee ticks both boxesBordeaux is known the world over for its exceptional wines, particularly red blends made with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, among others. These Cabernets aren't typically the full bodied Cabs you get from California, but rather medium bodied wines that emanate elegance and sophistication. You'll also find some refreshing Bordeaux whites and, of course, Bordeaux's famous dessert wine, Sauternes.
