Bordeaux wines are among the easiest to recognise in a blind tasting. Most (but admittedly not all) have a very special style. Of course, it has to do with the grape varieties, the climate, the soil and so on. But not only that.
There are “Bordeaux blends” from around the world, but they rarely taste like a genuine Bordeaux. Even though the grape composition in a Bordeaux can be anything with the five grapes, there is often a common and unique style.
What is the reason for this?
Well, who knows? Bordeaux magic? Of course, a lot lies in the above mentioned factors and in the winemaking tradition. But to really experience the character you need to go there.
On our tour you get to try both the “right bank” and the “left bank”. Very different grape compositions and very different soils, and also climates. Large chateaux and small family estates. All to give you a better insight into this fantastic unique wine.
As a bonus, you also get to enjoy a series of delicious meals at a high gastronomic level, on par with starred restaurants, but which you will relish in the chateaux’ private salons along with their wines.
