Bordelaise cuisine is firmly tied to the local terroir, a word meaning the land that produces the unique products such as Cap Ferret oysters, the famous Foi Gras, exceptional lamb and duck and local saffron.
In their food and wine pairings , they will begin with a rich pate`, and a taste of oysters before celebrating some variations on a duck theme.
Finish with the sweet of the region canale`and a duo of cheese. Enjoy two red "Bordeaux Blend" wines; one from the famous Medoc sub-region, the other a Bordeaux Superieur from the Entre-Deux-Mers.
Also, savour an original Sauternes; its succulence is a result of 'Noble Rot'.
They will also consider how France's Appellation system applies in Bordeaux with the added complexity of Cru Bourgeois and Grands Crus.
