The Bordeaux vineyards
This section of the Permanent Exhibition is dedicated to the Bordeaux wine region and invites you to discover this fascinating patchwork of winemaking areas.
From Médoc to the soils of the Graves, via Sauternes, Entre-Deux-Mers, Libourne, Bourg and Blaye, each region is home to unique landscapes, distinctive terroirs and incomparable styles of wine.
Thanks to an animated 3d map of the Bordeaux wine region, discover the different regions, appellations and specificities of the Bordeaux vineyards!
The Bordeaux wine region is above all an area of exceptional diversity.
With 65 different appellations, it is larger than all those of Greece or Germany combined: its vastness is due to the multiplicity of its terroirs, allowing the production of the famous great red wines and dessert wines, but also dry whites, sweet whites, rosés, clairet wines, crémant sparkling wines, etc.
Each of these regions has its own identity that is forged by its landscapes, terroirs, grape varieties, vinification techniques and history, and is reflected in the wines they produce. The Médoc is famous for its powerful red wines, while Graves is known for its elegant whites and classy reds. Sauternes will amaze you with its dessert wines of incomparable sweetness. The lively whites of the Entre-Deux-Mers and the prestigious wines of Libourne, Pomerol and Saint-Émilion add to this rich collection. Not to mention Bourg and Blaye, whose wines offer wide aromatic diversity.
