The Médoc is a French wine region in the Gironde department, above the city of Bordeaux. The region extends over an area of 80 by 15 kilometers along the left bank of the Gironde.
It is subdivided into the Haut-Médoc in the south and the (Bas-)Médoc in the north. The vines with mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, supplemented with Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot, are on terraces of pebble, gravel, limestone, clay, marl and sand, which ensures good drainage.
