Bordeaux Wine Tour

Bordeaux Wine Tour with Andrew Jefford

The Magic of Bordeaux

Bordeaux is the largest and most renowned fine wine producing region in France. Its balanced, structured and age worthly reds have served as the benchmark for Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blends from around the world. Excellent whites, both sweet and dry, are also produced in Bordeaux. Its sheer size has given rise to numerous sub-regions, appellations, classification systems, and châteaux, the famous wine estates of Bordeaux.

The greatest wines of Bordeaux are highly prized and much sought-after, notably for their unmatched ability to develop added beauty as they age and mature, hence their significant role in auction sales and as wine investments. But Bordeaux is also a place of innovation and change, led by rising star producers, challenges the status quo. Whether classic or modern, Bordeaux offers a profoundly satisfying drinking experience.
