We associate #Bordeaux with red wine. But 60 years ago approx 58% of the #vinifera vineyard area was white! #Sémillon was the most widely planted variety, followed by #Merlot, #Malbec (!) and the Cabernets (#CabernetFranc & #CabernetSauvignon together). Also, Hybrids accounted for 25% of Bordeaux vines.
