Many people have an opinion about Bordeaux. It can be positive or negative. It is rarely neutral. For many, Bordeaux is the most classic of all wines, the wine against which all other wines are measured. It is the region that provided large parts of the rest of the wine world with “Bordeaux varieties” (merlot, cabernets,…). But others find Bordeaux too expensive and too pretentious. And too tannic. Not really true today.
Bordeaux is above all a very large region and it is impossible to generalise. But some do it anyway, and it all turns out wrong. That is why Bordeaux today has many prejudices to fight against.
On this tour, we will show you The True Bordeaux, The Original Bordeaux. Bordeaux is not expensive (some wines are indeed costly, but far from all), you can undoubtedly encounter some pretentious people here (though not on our tours), and the wines are not too tannic. They have just the right amount of tannins, perfect to combine with food. We visit big châteaux, medium-sized châteaux, and small growers.
You will see that Bordeaux is like any other wine region, only with slightly more beautiful châteaux and slightly more beautiful wine cellars… But they must fight against the forces of the weather and the markets just like any other wine farmer. However, our magnificent gastronomic châteaux lunches, you can only get them in Bordeaux, and only on this wine tour.
