This classification picks up many of the Left Bank reds that didn't make it into the 1855 Classification of Grand Cru Class\u00e9s, highlighting estates that have a solid track record of quality production.Specific Appellations of BordeauxThese are unclassified Bordeaux reds from a specific appellation. On the label you will see appellations simply designated as \"Medoc,\" \"Cotes de Blaye\" or \"Fronsac.\" These wines are typically a good bet for solid, value-driven Bordeaux.Wines Designated as \"Bordeaux\" and \"Bordeaux Sup\u00e9rieur\"Bordeaux and Bordeaux Sup\u00e9rieur are the generic wines of Bordeaux and make up about 50% of the wines from the region. These wines may source grapes from all over the region and usually sell in the value wine category, with Bordeaux Sup\u00e9rieur priced on the higher end due to grapes sourced from older, more mature vines. The label designate will simply read, \"Appellation Bordeaux Controlee.\" Perhaps the most well known example is Mouton Cadet, a very drinkable bargain Bordeaux typically selling around $8 a bottle.The District of PomerolLike a breath of fresh air, the Bordeaux district of Pomerol has avoided the complicated classification process. Wine labels will simply indicate \"Appellation Pomerol Control\u00e9e.\" Merlot serves as the region's dominate grape varietal, producing wines with softer tannins, more forward fruit and ready to enjoy earlier than their Cab cousins. Pomerol is Bordeaux's smallest wine growing region, with production just over 5 million bottles. The most famous resident of Pomerol is Chateau Petrus, the celebrated maker of one of Bordeaux's most expensive red wines.","author_name":"euinvest103","author_url":"https:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/euinvest103","width":480,"height":269,"html":"<iframe frameborder=\"0\" width=\"480\" height=\"269\" src=\"https:\/\/geo.dailymotion.com\/player.html?video=xt07fd&\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/s2.dmcdn.net\/v\/2vsAP1gZ1EiFKrnDu\/x240","thumbnail_width":427,"thumbnail_height":240}
