Bordeaux, both classic and modern

Share/like this post:

Bordeaux occupies a special place in many wine lovers’ heart. It is the great classic and in many ways a reference for a high quality red wine. Here you find the famous chateaux with Grand Cru Classé status, real fairy-tale castles, built in the 18th and 19th century. The cellars are obviously modern and sometimes designed by world-renowned architects who challenge each other in creativity.

Bordeaux is big, over 100 000 hectares and has a lot of variation. You will find a variety of wine styles. The prices of the wines vary enormously too. Which means that you should definitely not be discouraged when you read about what some of the most famous wines cost. The most expensive wines are now pure luxury products. These can largely and safely be ignored by the wine-lover.

There is so much more to discover that is not unattainable luxury, and you will do that on our wine tour in Bordeaux when it is basking in spring sunshine. But we will of course have some prestige and luxury too. We are, after all, in Bordeaux.

The wine tour to Bordeaux takes place in May.
