Bordeaux wines
With 115,000 hectares and 60 appellations, the Bordeaux wines represents France's largest AOC vineyard. The vines benefit from an oceanic climate, temperate in winter and hot in summer. The soils are as rich and varied as the appellations. Among the most famous are : Saint-Emilion with Château Ausone or Château Cheval Blanc ; Margaux with Château Margaux; Pessac-Léognan with Château Haut-Brion; Saint-Julien with the Château Talbot; Sauternes with Château Yquem, Pomerol with Pétrus or Pauillac

Most grands crus classés, and Bordeaux wines in general, are blends. The most common red grape varieties are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère. Two other minority varieties are also used: Malbec and Petit Verdot. For white wines, the most popular varieties are Semillon, Sauvignon and Muscadelle. 

Vines have been grown in the Bordeaux region since Roman times. But its fame dates back to the Middle Ages. In the 13th century, Bordeaux became the main port for exporting wine to England and the Netherlands. From the 17th century onwards, the city prospered thanks to colonial trade. The quality of Bordeaux wines was such that they were served to the kings and court of France. The first grands crus classés de Bordeaux were presented at the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1855.

The different styles of Bordeaux wines

Of course, the Bordeaux wines are very well known and popular. Although most people think of red winethe Bordeaux region also offers white winesThe range also includes rosé wines and a number of sparkling wines. Whether you're a wine lover or a wine connoisseur, you'll be able to find the right wine for your needs. The Bordeaux region is a veritable breeding ground for wine in all its forms.

A special climate that makes all the difference

Another key point that gives our products their uniqueness is Bordeaux wines The region's climate. As mentioned above, this is a temperate, oceanic climate. This makes it ideal for vine-growing, even on flat terrain. In addition, rainfall is balanced throughout the region, year-round, with relatively wet autumns. Clement autumns herald quality vintages. The more sunshine there is, the better the grapes will ripen.

Further information on Bordeaux wine

What also distinguishes Bordeaux reds, whites and rosés is that they are generally the fruit of a blend of two to five complementary grape varieties. It's worth noting that there are many different appellations for Bordeaux wines, allowing you to differentiate between them: burgundy, bordeaux supérieur or crémant. In relation to these regional appellations, the wines will come from almost all the wine-growing communes within them. The diversity and multiplication of terroirs means that there is a wide range of wines of heterogeneous natures. As for the other appellations, they are classified according to the geographical and climatic organization of the terroir. They are therefore divided into two groups. 

- Left bank of the Gironde and Garonne rivers: Médoc red wines, Graves red and white wines, Sauternes wines. 
- Right bank of the Gironde and Dordogne rivers: Blayais and Bourgeais, and Libournais.Entre-deux-Mers lies between the Dordogne and Garonne rivers.

"The 1st vintage to be vinified in the new vat room, it's spectacular, all serenity and quiet strength!

"One of my favorite wines of the vintage, this is a wonderful example of high-definition winemaking, still offering plenty of Pauillac boldness. The nose is dark and slightly salty, full of black fruits and toasty aromas. The palate is bright and lively, with clarity and precision in the berries, juicy, mouth-watering acidity - there's so much energy in the glass. Chalky, graphite tannins fill the mouth, giving structure and clear terroir markers with a lingering minerality on the finish. Perfectly balanced, with incredible delectability and drinkability. Persistent with a long finish. Superb effort." (Decanter 2023) - Delivery in wooden case possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected)

"Phenomenal according to James Suckling & Extraordinary according to Yves Beck!

"Dressed in sparkling gold, this 1ercru classé offers an already assertive bouquet that combines all the assets of a great Sauternes wine. Its sumptuous aromas of candied orange and mirabelle plum jam are underscored by a subtle, refined woodiness. After a dazzling attack, with mineral notes and surprising aromas of marron glacé, the palate asserts itself with its richness and finesse, combining opulence with elegance, with notes of quince, candied orange and melon. A very complete wine, with an assertive classicism, whose concentration guarantees a happy evolution".

"It's one of the most concentrated and powerful of the vintage. At the peak of its art!"

"An opulent nose that draws you in irresistibly, with notes of dark chocolate ganache, cherry, Ente plum and elderberry. A breathtaking mouth of black fruits, silky and velvety, feline, suave, that makes you want to curl up in an armchair by the fire. The immense body and ribbon-fine tannins give it unrivalled presence and brilliance, while the finish is long and languorous".

"A very classic Yquem. A breathtaking spectrum of floral aromas of honey, exotic fruits (passion fruit, mango and pineapple), caramel and marzipan. But none of this is too much.

"Pale yellow color. Intense, fine, subtle, complex, deep and noble nose. This splendid aromatic ambience remains difficult to describe. The palate opens onto a world of airy subtlety. Very complex, silky, crystalline, the wine melts on the palate before offering, oh surprise, the roasted nobility of candied grapes on the finish. Impossible to spit out.

"A spectacular wine that's hard not to like! ~ James Suckling "

"Close to some of Margaux's finest vineyards, this estate regularly produces fine wines. This cuvée is nicely structured, with firm tannins but also generous black fruit.

"Giscours is where he deserves to be: right up front! - Yves Beck "

"...From the outset, the 2020 stands out for its freshness and floral nuances. It reveals scents of iris, while notes of blackcurrant appear after aeration. Very dense on the palate, the wine shines not only for its precision, but also for its depth. The tannins, very compact, impart quite a bit of energy, together with a juicy, saline acid structure. An energetic, powerful, accomplished and persistent Giscours. Everything takes shape, everything merges. Power and bitterness are essential assets for this wine, which offers great prospects and puts Giscours where it deserves to be: right out in front" (Yves Beck 2022) - Delivery in wooden cases possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).
