The establishment of the Bordeaux wines'
reputation has a collaborative
process of twenty centuries, many nations, shameless self promotion
and all important geographical conditions.
The regions is so densely packed with Châteaux, that drivers,
bikers and even walkers can easily amble from one to the next along
country roads.
First there are the great white Bordeaux
wines and the sublime Sauternes.
Next come the Quality Côtes de Bordeaux (whites and reds)
from vineyards spread over steep hillsides caressed by the warn sun.
Discover the region of the wines of Graves - a simple strip of land of
some 15 kilometres between Bordeaux and Langon - but, an area of such
prestige, such finesse, such elegance and presence!
The Médoc invites you to share in the delights of the area between
the coast of
Gascony and the estuary of the Gironde; here man and Nature have created
the most famous wines in the world : Pauillac, Saint Estephe, Margaux,
Saint-Julien, to mention but a few!
Now make your way to Saint Emilion, Château Ausonne, Château
de Cheval-Blanc or Château Trottevieille and the Pomerol of
Château Pétrus - unforgettable.
Do not miss the Côtes
de Bourg, the Côte de Blaye, the wines of Entre-deux-Mers, and near
Bergerac there is even more to taste.. Montbazillac, Montravel and
Côte de Duras.
