PESSAC LEOGNAN : MAP OF CHATEAUX
THE PESSAC LEOGNAN APPELLATION TERRITORY
The Gironde is the third largest wine-producing department in France after the Aude and the Hérault. Furthermore the Gironde is also the leading AOC producing department. Bordeaux’s reputation as a great wine region in the world is well established. Historic châteaux produce legendary red wines. These Bordeaux wines are capable of ageing for several decades. These same wines have made and continue to make the Bordeaux region and France famous. This is notably the case of the Pessac Leognan, the list of which is shown below. Pessac Leognan map is also shown below.
The Gironde and its tributary, the Dordogne, divide the region into two large areas. There are therefore two large production areas. The left bank, including the Haut-Médoc and the Graves, is to the west and south of Bordeaux. The right bank, including Saint-Emilion and Pomerol, is north of both the Gironde and the Dordogne. Finally, the Entre-Deux-Mers region, between the Gironde and the Dordogne, produces very good white wines.
THE PESSAC LEOGNAN WINES
The best wines, such as those of Pessac Leognan, come from AOC districts or communes. These are positioned on the left or right bank. The two banks are distinguished by the nature of their soils. There is primarily gravel on the left bank, whilst clay is mainly present on the right bank. The wines from the left bank, mainly Cabernet-Sauvignon, are rich in tannins. These wines have a pronounced blackcurrant flavour. These Left Bank wines sometimes require several years to express their full potential. The wines from the right bank, with a majority of Merlot, are less tannic and more alcoholic. The wines from the right bank offer rich and fruity flavours more quickly.
