The variety Red Bordeaux Blend implies any blend using any two or more of the six traditional Bordeaux varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Carmenère. Other associated terms describing wines fashioned in this manner include: Proprietor’s Blends, “Meritage”TM, etc. Outside of France, Red Bordeaux Blends are typically well-crafted wines. Within France and Italy, Applelation laws strictly dictate the protocols and use of more than one varietal in a wine, and with the exception of some Super-Tuscans, Red Bordeaux Blend wines are considered inferior to Classified (Bordeaux) wines. Note: Burgundy and Rhône-terroir wines are similarly distinguished from Blends using Gamay, Pinot Noir, Syrah, etc., except in Australia, where these grape varietals are crafted into wines of varying quality.the
