Unaware of the 75% rule in Bordeaux

Posted by jimbill on December 19, 2014 at 12:12:10:
Where did you read that?
Only certain grapes are allowed in Bordeaux to be labeled AOC. I know that chardonnay is prohibited from Bordeaux whites to be AOC (they have to be labeled "table wine"), but Bordeaux is famous for blending different grapes at different levels. I've seen Pomerols with 70% merlot. I've seen top Medoc with 65% CS.They blend their wines according to their taste.
