"THE MÉDOC
Let’s begin this journey through the Bordeaux wine regions by entering the Médoc first. Located just north of the city of Bordeaux, the closest point is only a 15-minute drive. The Médoc spans 60 kilometers (37 miles) of wine regions along the Left Bank of the Gironde Estuary, fed by the Garonne and Dordogne Rivers. It is arguably the most well known of the Bordeaux wine regions as a result of Napoléon’s bestowment of the “first-growths” in 1855, and their subsequent high-profile wines. Here we find the notable Château Margaux, Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Latour, Château Haut-Brion, and Château Mouton Rothschild, among the many other high-profile Grand Cru Classés of 1855."
