In Vine growing, the assembly follows in certain areas of the traditions directly related to a Appellation or a specific Mark quality control.The wines of Bordeaux use assemblies thus calling upon two or more of the Cépage S following: frank Cabernet, Cabernet-sauvignon, Merlot for the red wines, to which can be added the Petit verdot and the Côt, or Sauvignon, Sémillon and Muscadelle for the white wines, to which can be added the white Ugni, the Colombard and the white merlot. The label Meritage used by many Californian vineyards is also only granted to the wines according to this type of assembly.
