These line both sides of the Dordogne and Garonne rivers, which meet near <a href=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/is-bordeaux-worth-visiting\"><strong>the city of Bordeaux<\/strong><\/a>, and extend into the surrounding hills. This geography shapes a distinct terroir, defined by environmental factors\u2014especially climate and soil\u2014that give the region\u2019s wines their unique character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nearby Atlantic Ocean brings a moderate maritime climate with relatively high humidity. Based largely on soil differences, winemakers divide Bordeaux\u2019s AOCs into three main growing areas. Soil types change depending on a vineyard\u2019s distance from the rivers and which side of the river it lies on. These soil variations allow different grape varieties to thrive in different parts of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Devour_Bordeaux_Wine-Day-Trip-0053-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A woman in a navy shirt evaluates two glasses of red wine, addressing seated guests in a bright Bordeaux winery tasting room.\" class=\"wp-image-22627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Devour_Bordeaux_Wine-Day-Trip-0053-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Devour_Bordeaux_Wine-Day-Trip-0053-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Devour_Bordeaux_Wine-Day-Trip-0053-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Devour_Bordeaux_Wine-Day-Trip-0053-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Devour_Bordeaux_Wine-Day-Trip-0053.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Our expert guides will explain the key differences between a good and a GREAT wine. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_three_main_growing_areas_are\"><\/span>The three main growing areas are:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Left Bank:<\/strong> Located on the left (southern\/western) side of the Garonne, this soil contains more gravel and is warmer and drier.

Whether a wine gets top reviews or is a best-seller, the main criteria most people look for in a wine is whether they like how it tastes. There are some classification systems, though top-ranked wines often come with eye-popping price tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1855, officials created the first classification of the best Bordeaux wines based solely on price. Today, <strong>six ch\u00e2teaux hold the highest rank, including renowned names like Lafite-Rothschild, Latour, and Margaux<\/strong>. The classification includes five levels, with \u201cPremier Cru\u201d at the top, and these wines remain among the most expensive in the world. However, a high price doesn\u2019t always guarantee a wine you\u2019ll enjoy drinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are other classifications today that consider quality rather than price, including \u201cCru Bourgeois\u201d and \u201cSaint-\u00c9milion Grand Cru Class\u00e9.\u201d With the latter, wineries are reevaluated every decade and can have their \u201ccru\u201d status revoked if quality declines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Devour_Bordeaux_Wine-Day-Trip-0061-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Three friends smile and toast with glasses of white wine at a cozy wine bar, discussing their favorite Bordeaux selections.\" class=\"wp-image-22626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Devour_Bordeaux_Wine-Day-Trip-0061-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Devour_Bordeaux_Wine-Day-Trip-0061-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Devour_Bordeaux_Wine-Day-Trip-0061-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Devour_Bordeaux_Wine-Day-Trip-0061-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Devour_Bordeaux_Wine-Day-Trip-0061.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Enjoy a wine tasting with friends and family!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_comparing_labels_look_for_these\"><\/span>When comparing labels, look for these:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re comparing labels, another phrase to look for is, \u201cGrand Vin de Bordeaux.\u201d This isn\u2019t a classification, but it\u2019s a designation given by an individual winery to what it considers its best Bordeaux wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to keep in mind that Bordeaux, like any wine, can vary significantly in quality and quantity from year to year.
