Médoc is one of the most famous Bordeaux wine regions, possibly only second in fame to St. Émilion. Médoc is located northwest of Bordeaux, on the left bank of the Gironde River, and Médoc is further separated into many sub regions (it gets very technical)! In short (you could talk about this forever), each sub region has a specific terroir – a French word describing the air, sun, rain, soil, etc. in that specific region that gives grapes grown there a particular taste. On our visit, we visited two châteaux, one in the Listrac-Médoc and one in Margaux. Both châteauxs specialized in bold red wines, with lots of cabernet sauvignon grapes!
