“A Bordeaux wine (Occitan: vin de Bordèu, French: vignoble de Bordeaux) is any wine produced in the Bordeaux region of southwest France. Bordeaux is centered on the city of Bordeaux, on the Garonne River. To the north of the city the Dordogne River joins the Garonne forming the broad estuary called the Gironde and covering the whole area of the Gironde department, with a total vineyard area of over 120,000 hectares, [1]  making it the largest wine growing area in France. Average vintages produce over 700 million bottles of Bordeaux wine, ranging from large quantities of everyday table wine, to some of the most expensive and prestigious wines in the world. The vast majority of wine produced in Bordeaux is red (sometimes called "claret" in Britain), with sweet white wines (most notably Sauternes), dry whites, and (in much smaller quantities) rosé and sparkling wines (Crémant de Bordeaux) collectively making up the remainder. Bordeaux wine is made by more than 8,500 producers or  châteaux. There are 54 appellations of Bordeaux wine. ”

1st Course

Mussels and Frites

Wine-Chateau Marjossee Bordeaux Blanc

64% Sauvignon, 32% Sémillon, 4% Muscadelle

“The wine is golden and bright and has its characteristic aromas of grapefruit, mango and pineapple. In

the mouth, despite the rich nose, it is tense and very fresh with a nice bitter orange finish.”

2nd Course

Duck Leg with Lentils

Wine-Chateau Durand Laplagne “Les Terre Rouge”, St. Emilion

“Composed of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Les Terres

Rouges offers scents of plum preserves, Black Forest cake and Chinese five spice with wafts of potpourri

and fragrant earth. Full-bodied, rich and decadently fruited in the mouth, it has firm, plush tannins and

oodles of freshness, finishing long and perfumed.
