History of Bordeaux wine : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of Bordeaux wine
The history of Bordeaux wine spans almost 2000 years to Roman times when the first vineyards were planted. In the Middle Ages, the marriage of Henry Plantagenet and Eleanor of Aquitaine opened the Bordeaux region to the English market and eventually to the world's stage. The name Bordeaux derives from the French ''au bord de l'eau'' which means "along the waters" and makes reference to the Gironde estuary and its tributaries, the Garonne and the Dordogne rivers which play a pivotal role in the history and success of this region.〔K. MacNeil ''The Wine Bible'' pg 120 Workman Publishing 2001 ISBN 1-56305-434-5〕 ==Roman times== Bordeaux wine production seems to have begun sometime after 43 AD, during the Roman occupation of Gaul, when the Romans established vineyards to cultivate wine for the soldiers. However, it is only in 71 AD that Pliny the Elder recorded the first real evidence of vineyards in Bordeaux.〔H. Johnson ''Vintage: The Story of Wine'' pg 88 Simon and Schuster 1989 ISBN 0-671-68702-6〕 The area's location along the Gironde estuary provided an ideal trade route with the British Isles. Wine historian, Roger Dion, has theorized that the first vine cuttings that the Romans brought to Bordeaux originated in the Rioja region of Spain.〔H. Johnson ''Vintage: The Story of Wine'' pg 89 Simon and Schuster 1989 ISBN 0-671-68702-6〕 The early budding of the Bordeaux wine industry suffered a number of disruptions following the fall of Rome. The area was occupied by Vandals in AD 408, Goths in 406, and Visigoths in 414. The area was also subjected to repeated encounters with Saxon longboats along the coast. These disruptions continued into the 5th century to the period of Frankish rule.〔H. Johnson ''Vintage: The Story of Wine'' pg 138 Simon and Schuster 1989 ISBN 0-671-68702-6〕
