Bordeaux.
Bordeaux is the largest AOC vineyard in France: 94,700 hectares in 2026, spread across the Gironde around the city of Bordeaux, the Garonne, the Dordogne and the Gironde estuary. Most of the wine is red – 83% of the 2024 harvest – and usually a blend: Merlot makes up two thirds of the red vines, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, while the whites come from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. About 4,600 winegrowers work here, from family properties to famous châteaux, alongside some 300 merchant houses and 29 cooperatives. 1184 producers from Falstaff’s guide and OpenStreetMap on one map, with restaurants, places to stay and directions by train, bus and bike.
