LEFT BANK

Bordeaux’s Left Bank (Médoc & Graves) excels in Cabernet‑led blends on gravelly soils. Structure, freshness and longevity define the style. Cassis, cedar and tobacco meet fine‑grained tannins. Quality ranges from Cru Bourgeois to First Growths. Excellent with beef, lamb and savory mushrooms. For classic, firm Bordeaux, head Left Bank.
