Bordeaux is known mostly for red wine.
Merlot accounts for the most common red variety with Cabernet Sauvignon the second most prominent and then Cabernet Franc. For white wine, Semillon is the most common, followed by Sauvignon Blanc.
Burgundy is instead known for its white wine, though the production of red to white is far more balanced. For white wines, almost all come from Chardonnay and for red wines, almost all come from Pinot Noir.
