What is the “sixth” grape of Bordeaux?

Carmenére
Malbec
Pinot Noir
Grenache

Explanation

Answer: A - Carmenére is the sixth grape of Bordeaux. The five grapes of Bordeaux are: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petite Verdot. Carmenére is considered the sixth grape of Bordeaux because it is rarely found in France today; however, it was one of the original components of Bordeaux wines until Phylloxera destroyed the vines. Carmenére was never really replanted in Europe.
