 t the Médoc peninsula has some of best terroirs in the world\, and in the 
 following 100 years it came to epitomise wines made from Cabernet Sauvigno
 n and Merlot.  But times change and Bordeaux has increasingly been challen
 ged by new regions with more reliable climates\, while becoming a victim o
 f its own success\, producing more wine that it can sell.  The good news f
 or us is that the Bordelais’ response to these headwinds has been to focus
  on quality and better value for money\, and whether white\, rosé\, sparkl
 ing or red\, they are producing wonderful wines at reasonable prices.\n\nT
