The
professions
In the world of Bordeaux wines, every profession plays like a musical line — distinct on its own, yet essential to the symphony of this iconic region.
Winegrowers
Bordeaux’s strength lies in the remarkable diversity of its estates. From independent family properties to renowned châteaux, no fewer than 4,600 winegrowers have been shaping the region for centuries, crafting wines whose reputation extends far beyond France’s borders.
Wine merchants
Ever heard of the Place de Bordeaux?
It’s the name given to the unique commercial and financial ecosystem that has supported Bordeaux for centuries — a vital, finely tuned network at the very heart of how the region works and trades.
Cooperative wineries
At the heart of the Bordeaux vineyard, cooperative wineries have played an essential role since the early 20th century. Born from the idea of pooling production costs, they bring winegrowers together around a shared ambition: producing quality wines while ensuring economic sustainability for each member.
Brokers
A wine broker is a true mediator — a connector, an independent strategist.
Their role? To link winegrower and merchant, select the finest wines, and ensure that every transaction takes place with fairness, transparency and mutual respect.
