Pairing guide
White Bordeaux wines are very much having a moment this year, and with bottles as delicious as this release from Château La Peyruche, it isn’t hard to see why. You’ll want to match this elegant white with richer fish and seafood dishes - crab pate, halibut with a cream sauce, battered cod goujons or simple boiled langoustines with aioli, to name but a few - as well as with decadent dishes of roast chicken breast with butter and truffles. Turkey curries, lemon and parmesan salads, pork chops or pasta classics like cacio e pepe will also work wonders here.

Wine region
Bordeaux, France
Bordeaux is a wine region located in southwestern France, known for producing some of the world's most coveted and expensive wines. The main takeaway is that Bordeaux wines are a blend of grape varieties. Sometimes called noble varieties, this includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Carménère. This ‘Bordeaux blend’ style is emulated worldwide from Australia to South America!
Key regions can be divided into two areas, the Left Bank and the Right Bank. The Left Bank includes Médoc, comprised of sub-regions - Pauillac, Saint-Estèphe, and Margaux. These wines are Cabernet Sauvignon dominant with serious tannin structure for the long term. The Right Bank is known for softer wines made of Merlot. The top right-bank area is Pomerol, home to the iconic Château Pétrus with honourable mentions to Saint-Emilion and Fronsac.
