Discover the Charm of Bordeaux
Imagine drifting along the scenic rivers of Bordeaux, surrounded by lush vineyards and historic châteaux that define this world-renowned wine region. Bordeaux, in the rhône valley, is the crown jewel of French wine. It has been producing exceptional wines since the 8th century. Its rich history and commitment to excellence make it a must-visit destination for wine lovers.
Bordeaux’s wine history is as rich and complex as its wines. The vineyards in Bordeaux have been cultivated since Roman times. The region saw a huge boom in the 12th century when it became part of the English crown through the marriage of Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry II of England. Today, Bordeaux is synonymous with high-quality wines, particularly its reds, which include Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc blends.
