Bordelais

The Bordelais have been blending reds for centuries.

Before Sunday’s processional ride leading to the Champs-Elysees, there is just one difficult stage remaining — a time trial through the Bordelais vineyards scheduled Saturday.

The Bordelais really do know how to party, even if they prefer black tie.

Spoiler alert: We all know how that turned out for the adopted son of a Bordelais couple.

Perhaps for that reason the Chinese invasion has been limited to perhaps 3 percent of the roughly 6,000 chateaus in the Bordelais region.
