Côtes de Bourg (sometimes referred to simply as Bourg) is a small district in Bordeaux that is located on the right bank of the Dordogne River in southwestern France; it is situated across this river from the famous Médoc district.

White and red wines are produced in the Côtes de Bourg; soils here are limestone and clay, and the red wines are lighter in style than those from the Médoc. Grape varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot; for the whites, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Colombard are used.

The rarely seen whites are made to be consumed early, usually within 2-3 years of the vintage; aromas and flavors include citrus and peach, with notes of white and yellow flowers. These wines should be paired with lighter seafood as well as chicken or vegetable salads.

The reds are also meant to be enjoyed early on, from 2-3 years for most examples, as there is not great fruit depth and the tannins are soft. The wines have flavors of red cherry and berries with delicate spice notes. Pair these wines with lighter red meats or mild cheeses. (Wine/Appellations)
