The 1998 vintage in this area achieved a score of 90 points and is described as rich and ripe. The local maritime climate is heavily influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the Gironde estuary and the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, which provide a crucial temperature-regulating effect across the vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the largest and most fundamental classification in the area, the Appellation Bordeaux Contrôlée represents the broad, traditional wine style of the entire region.
