"Bordolese" refers to a style of wine that originates from the Bordeaux region of France. It typically describes wines made from grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, characterized by their rich flavors, tannins, and aging potential. Additionally, "bordolese" can also denote certain winemaking techniques or practices associated with Bordeaux wines.
Wine made from one grape is called a varietal. Varietals have become popular over the last few decades and have become significant in the market forces that steer wine production. Many of the truly great wines of France are blends of 2 or more grape varieties, and a significant part of the art of wine making is in choosing and properly blending the varieties involved.
