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 download time for each sound will vary according to the specification of your computer's processor and the speed of your Internet connection. While the sounds are kept in a basic .wav format, which can be read by most media players, you can click on the RealAudio's RealPlayer icon to download it if you do not have a media player. N.B. RealPlayer Basic is a free player and is suitable for listening to this pronunciation guide.
