Champagne and Bordeaux, cousins of prestige and luxury | wine tour

Share/like this post:

Combining Champagne and Bordeaux is a good idea. The regions are of course very different but they have some things in common. In Bordeaux they like to serve champagne as an aperitif and the red wine of preference in Champagne is a bordeaux. And both regions make some of France’s most prestigious wines.

We will visit the big and famous but also smaller family estates. We like to give you a good understanding of these two magnificent wine regions that have inspired so many winemakers outside of France.

PS: We have written an internationally award-winning book about Champagne, and also one on Bordeaux. And ten other wine books. Can you think of any other wine tour operator with that in the baggage?
