Bordeaux is a city of grandeur and sophistication, of old money and legendary vintages
where connoisseurs can take the time to savour wines and cuisine perfected over generations.
This grande dame on the banks of the softly-flowing Garonne ages with effortless grace
its wide boulevards, majestic squares and elegant 18th-century mansions are filled with timeless charm. Surrounded
by ancient châteaux and some of the most valuable vineyards in the world, each autumn harvest brings another crop of imperious reds and sweet whites.
Beyond, the precious earth fades into the dunes of the Atlantic seaboard
where the waters are rich with oysters and seafood destined for the tables of the Bordeaux’s gourmands.
Here the good life is served on a plate and time is measured by the popping of corks.
Beautifully Bordeaux
Bordeaux is perhaps the world’s greatest wine region and you can visit numerous vineyards and châteaux.
In the Médoc region to the north of the city you can visit one of the finest vineyards at the world-famous Château Margaux
