Wine Pronunciation Guide


It is important to be able to pronounce the name of a wine correctly, although the ability to do so sometimes seems more of an art than a science. The dialects of Bordeaux, for example, seem to be influenced by many other European languages - Spanish, English and Dutch, for example - and I have even heard one proprietor pronounce the name of his chateau differently to an American than to an Italian.

Below is a comprehensive range of the top Bordeaux properties, arranged alphabetically. By clicking on the symbols you can hear the way they are pronounced in France - as good a start as any!

The sounds are kept in a basic .wav format, which can be read by most media players
