Red wines
light and fruity

Bordeaux’s easygoing pleasure

No fuss, no frills — here, it’s all about fruit. Light and fruity Bordeaux reds deliver sheer freshness and juicy appeal from the first sip to the last. Straightforward but never simple, they combine bright aromatics, a supple texture and an effortless, spontaneous charm. Usually aged only briefly, these wines showcase purity of fruit and the vibrancy of primary aromas, making them instantly enjoyable and mouth‑watering.

How to spot them
In the glass, expect a bright, luminous colour. On the nose, fresh and tangy red fruits often mingle with a hint of wildflowers. On the palate, softness and freshness take the lead, offering an easy, unpretentious drinking experience. These cuvées are wonderfully versatile — from lasagna to seared meats or marinated vegetables, they slip naturally onto the table in any season. Perfect for sharing with friends, without overthinking it.

Best enjoyed young, ideally within 1 to 3 years — a true youthful charmer..

Red wines
fresh and generous

Bordeaux’s rock’n’roll spirit

This is the style that goes its own way. Balancing freshness with depth, it nudges the classic Bordeaux codes without ever pretending to be a rebel. Its secret? A calm, unhurried vinification — sometimes in unexpected vessels — that lets ripe, expressive fruit shine through, with a lovely, lingering finish.

How to spot it? The colour can vary, but on the nose, ripe and fleshy fruit leaps from the glass. On the palate, it marries suppleness with substance, delivering that irresistible, mouth‑watering generosity that makes you put the glass down… only to pick it right back up.

This style pairs beautifully with marinated octopus, mushroom omelette, red meat — and even with roasted carrots, sweet potatoes, or potatoes in all their forms. Versatile and relaxed, it works just as well for apéritif as it does at the dinner table.

Best enjoyed young, this charmer can nevertheless age comfortably for 5 to 10 years.

The exquisite Bordeaux treat

Here we reach the sublime. These luscious wines are born of rare know‑how, near‑meditative patience, and an exceptional terroir. Rich yet finely drawn, they unfold in layers of aroma and intensity without ever tipping into heaviness. They are wines of sweetness, yes — but above all of remarkable complexity, capable of ageing with astonishing grace.

On the nose, we speak of true perfume: honey, candied fruit, gentle spices, flowers, and occasionally a lift of citrus that brightens the whole.

Spiced dishes, blue cheeses, fruit‑based desserts, or simply the quiet pleasure of the end of a meal… it pairs beautifully with contemplative moments.

This liquid gold is one to keep: 10, 20 years, sometimes far more. Time is its greatest ally.

Bordeaux’s easygoing conviviality

Spontaneity and freshness lead the way here. Light, crisp and fruit‑forward, Bordeaux rosés are the ideal companions for sunlit, simple moments — though they’re far from limited to summer sipping.

Clairets wines

The rooted Bordeaux style

Halfway between red and rosé, clairet is the historic Bordeaux style making a well‑deserved comeback.
