В Бордо, помимо известных красных вин, делают свежие и ароматные белые вина из винограда сортов Совиньон (Sauvignon) и Семильон (Sémillon). Эти вина составляют более 10% от всех бордосских вин. Большинство из белых бордосских вин пьются молодыми, как, например, из апеласьона Entre-Deux-Mers, другие же, особенно от Pessac-Léognan, ценятся за их сложность, силу и потенциал для старения.
