Take France, where it\u2019s common to label wines according to the region (or subregion) of production instead of the grape variety. This is useful if you happen to have specialist knowledge and know your Gevrey-Chambertin from your Morey-St-Denis, but it can be intimidating for the casual wine lover.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.invinic.com\/en\/deutz-champagne-a-legendary-house\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Bordeaux wine labels<\/strong><\/a> certainly fall into this category and can be off-putting for many. The good news is that you don\u2019t need to be a Master of Wine, or speak French, to make sense of Bordeaux labels. Our handy guide will give you everything you need to know and tell you everything you need to look out for, to pick a great bottle every time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Understanding Bordeaux wine labels<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The wines of Bordeaux are widely admired, but can also appear intimidating. When compared with a Chilean Merlot or a California Cabernet Sauvignon, it can be difficult to understand what\u2019s on the label &#8211; let alone to know what\u2019s in the bottle! In order to understand Bordeaux wines better, we\u2019ll take a typical label and work our way through it, piece by piece.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ch\u00e2teau Cos Labory wine label<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here we\u2019ve got a label from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.invinic.com\/en\/producer\/chateau-cos-labory\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ch\u00e2teau Cos Labory<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This is one of the Bordeaux region\u2019s best producers, but you\u2019d be forgiven for not knowing that by the label alone. Let\u2019s take a closer look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4407 size-medium\" title=\"bordeaux wine label\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.invinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/chateau-cos-labory-saint-estephe-france-10183273-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"bordeaux wine label\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">source: wine-searcher.com<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OK, so what are we looking at? There\u2019s some nice (if a little old-fashioned) visual elements, and a few obvious points, too: Alcohol 12.5% is understandable enough, as is the bottle size (750ml) and the fact that it\u2019s a French product. Otherwise, let\u2019s run through the individual components that make up this and most other Bordeaux wine labels!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Wine name<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case, the wine\u2019s name is <\/span><b>Ch\u00e2teau Cos Labory<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is also the name of the ch\u00e2teau estate from which it comes. Some estates make more than one wine, but when a wine has the word \u201cCh\u00e2teau\u201d in its name, it is likely to be that producer\u2019s best wine. Second wines, perhaps from younger vines or lower quality fruit, are usually given distinct names that do not bare the word \u201cCh\u00e2teau\u201d. In this case, Ch\u00e2teau Cos Labory makes a second wine called <\/span><b>Charme de Cos Labory<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Classification<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, the phrase <\/span><b>Grand Cru Class\u00e9 classement de 1855<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> indicates that the wine is a classified growth. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bordeaux.com\/us\/Our-Terroir\/Classifications\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bordeaux wine classifications<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are notoriously (and perhaps needlessly) complicated, and there are several different ones. This wine is classified as part of the historic 1855 classification as a fifth growth. Classified growths like Cos Labory represent the high-end minority of Bordeaux wines.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Vintage<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the year in which the grapes were harvested, which was <\/span><b>1994 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in this example. The vintage is very important in regions such as Bordeaux that are susceptible to dramatic changes in weather from one year to another. In Bordeaux, some of the best recent vintages include 2005, 2009 and 2010. Market prices for these wines are very high as a result. Wines from less heralded vintages, such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.invinic.com\/en\/chateau-cos-labory-2007\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ch\u00e2teau Cos Labory 2007<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, usually offer good quality at a considerable discount.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Region of origin<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The region of origin is important in Bordeaux, because the region is so big and has so many distinct areas. Entry-level wines will be labelled as either <\/span><b>Bordeaux<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><b>Bordeaux Sup\u00e9rieur<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The grapes for these wines are permitted to come from anywhere within the Bordeaux region. Higher end wines come from specific, named locales. Some prominent subregions include <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.invinic.com\/en\/the-beginners-guide-to-pomerol-wine\/\"><b>Pomerol<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.invinic.com\/en\/five-facts-about-chateau-margaux-that-will-impress-any-wine-snob\/\"><b>Margaux<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/regions-pauillac\"><b>Pauillac<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Different subregions have different styles, signatures and may use different blends.

This appellation is located in the northern M\u00e9doc on Bordeaux\u2019s left bank, and is known for powerful <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.invinic.com\/en\/cabernet-merlot-the-bordeaux-blend-outside-bordeaux\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bordeaux blends<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> based on Cabernet Sauvignon. The region\u2019s most famous producers are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.invinic.com\/en\/producer\/chateau-cos-d-estournel\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ch\u00e2teau Cos d\u2019Estournel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.invinic.com\/en\/producer\/chateau-montrose\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ch\u00e2teau Montrose<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Ownership<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bordeaux labels will proudly bear the name and address of the proprietor, which may be an individual or a company. In our case, it is <\/span><b>Domaines AUDOY<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, based in the Saint-Est\u00e8phe region.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Bottling statement<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, the French phrase<\/span><b><i> mis en bouteilles au ch\u00e2teau<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> indicates that the wine was bottled at the estate itself. Some wineries own their own bottling lines and others rent machines. While estate bottling doesn\u2019t guarantee quality, it can be somewhat reassuring and indicate a sense of pride on the part of the owner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So that\u2019s the average Bordeaux wine label deconstructed. Using this knowledge you can shop for Bordeaux wines with confidence, knowing what to look out for in order to get the best bottle every time! What other wine label terms are troubling for you?
