Hidden in plain sight, even as they encroach on Bordeaux city’s southern suburbs, Graves and Pessac -Léognan have much to offer those in search of complex, dry whites and classic Bordeaux reds.
The adjacent appellations of Sauternes, Barsac, Cadillac and Sainte-Croix-du-Mont are the source of some of the world’s greatest sweet white wines.
