The nobility of Bordeaux red wine stems from its long and meticulous brewing method: during the fermentation process of the grape juice, the time of dipping the skin controls the clear and moving color of the red wine and the content of tannin in the wine; after the fermentation is completed, it needs to be immersed in the fermentation tank.

The bottom lees are extracted, a slow and patient process; the next step is to select the best wines, while combining the different varieties in perfect proportions. This not only improves the quality of the wine, but also preserves the flavor of different varieties of grapes, and can combine more unique and wonderful flavors.

After several months or more, the wine is bottled and capped from oak barrels. The red wines at this time are still alive, they breathe slowly through the cork, continue to undergo wonderful changes, and gradually reach maturity. Therefore, most of Bordeaux red wines are suitable for long-term preservation, and good wines take decades or even decades to mature.
