Summary

What comes to your mind when you think about Bordeaux? Is it carefully manicured fairytale Chateaux of the left bank? The 1855 classification? The First Growths? These prestigious wines garner much of the attention, but only account for a tiny fraction of the region's wines. Here we showcase the hidden side of Bordeaux: small, artisanal producers pushing the boundaries of the expected in interesting and inspiring ways. Three wines from Bordeaux to be excited about, all bottled under the Vin de France classification!

Wines Tasted

Château le Puy Rose-Marie
