Bordeaux

Situated in a unique location, Bordeaux is separated by the river Garonne which unites with the Dordogne River to form the Gironde estuary. The city has one of the largest ports in all of France which in the past saw its growth with the export demand of wine.

Saint-Emilion & Pomerol

Located in the south of Bordeaux, Graves is an important area in the production of wines and unique in the region for producing three different types of wines: red, white dry and sweet white. The name, Graves, is due to the soil “Graviers” (a gravel mixture), which retains the sun’s heat and radiates the warmth back into the vines overnight.

Known worldwide as one of the most famous winemakers regions, médoc stands out for being uniquely characteristic due to its privileged soil, climate and work performed in vineyards, providing for an impressive result.

Medoc

A splendid location for lovers of art, gastronomy and history, France is surely one of the most popular destinations in the world, not only because of the famous and beautiful city of Paris but also by the geographical diversity and rich beauty, history, architecture and monuments among its various cities.

Here you will find some of the most world-renowned brands as well as prestigious restaurants.
A must-see stop for wine lovers, Bordeaux is not only recognized worldwide for the outstanding quality of its vineyards but its many other tourist attractions such as the nearby coastal beaches and the historic charm of the outlying towns, all possessing unique landscapes and invitations to contemplate.

A medieval city built on the monolithic limestone rock where blocks were extracted for the construction of Saint-Emilion creating about 200 km of underground galleries, perfect for wine storage and also where, one of the largest underground churches in Europe can be found.

Pessac-Léognan, Sauternes and Barsac are the areas highlighted in Graves. In Pessac-Léognan, minutes from the center of Bordeaux, red wine production is prevalent and many Chateaux distinguish themselves by their quality such as Chateau Pape Clement, which Pope Clement V in the XIV century was the owner or Chateau Haut-Brion, that integrates among the only five chateaux ranked first Grand Crus Classés.



Sauternes is known worldwide for its sweet white wine that has all the prestige of the "noble rot" caused by the fungus Botrytis cinerea that is installed in the grape skins during its final process by removing the water and leaving a strong concentration of sugar. The process requires special attention in its cultivation and the result? ... hmmmm a tempting invitation.
