Cadillac Côtes de Bordeaux

The terroir

The Cadillac Côtes de Bordeaux appellation is situated on the right bank of the Garonne, in the Entre-deux-Mers region, characterised by rolling hillsides. The soils are diverse, mainly composed of clay, limestone, and gravel, offering ideal conditions for viticulture. This geological diversity contributes to the complexity of the wines produced in the area. The temperate oceanic climate is moderated by the proximity of the river.

The wines

Cadillac Côtes de Bordeaux produces red wines exclusively. The permitted grape varieties are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. Merlot is generally dominant, imparting suppleness and roundness, whilst the Cabernets provide structure and ageing potential. These wines are distinguished by their red and black fruit aromas, often complemented by spicy or oaky notes. They are celebrated for their balance and cellaring capacity.

Food pairings

These red Bordeaux wines complement a wide variety of dishes. Their structure and tannins make for classic pairings with red meats, such as roast beef, lamb, or game. They also pair well with poultry in rich sauces or slow-cooked braises. On the cheese board, hard and semi-hard pressed cheeses such as Comté or Saint-Nectaire are an excellent match, showcasing the versatility of these wines.
