Many wine regions are renowned for producing powerful and concentrated reds.The Bordeaux region is, for example, famous for its robust and tannic wines, particularly within appellations such as Pauillac, Saint-Julien, Saint-Estèphe and Saint-Émilion.Traditional grape varieties such as the Cabernet Sauvignon, the Cabernet Franc and the Merlot notably contribute to their structure and intensity.

Some appellations of the Rhône Valley, such as Côte Rôtie, Hermitage or Châteauneuf-du-Pape are also highly renowned for producing powerful and long-ageing red wines, notably thanks to the grape varieties Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre.

In Spain, the Rioja and Ribera del Duero are renowned for their tannic and powerful wines made from Tempranillo. We can also take inspiration from Italy and Tuscany, where Sangiovese is used to produce wines of magnificent aromatic richness, like certain Chianti or Brunello di Montalcino.

On the white wine side, Burgundy and its chardonnay often aged in barrels is praised for its breadth and indulgentise, as exemplified by famous appellations such as Meursault or Chassagne-Montrachet. 

Finally, some rosé wines can also be full-bodied and intense, like those from the Bandol appellation in Provence.This last region also produces excellent, powerful red wines thanks to its significant sunshine.
