5.00Very rewarding visit! I particularly liked the audio guide, which makes the discovery even clearer and more enjoyable. Service was impeccable and personalized. The blonde employee who gave us the tasting was particularly interesting and captivating. We also had a lot of fun participating in the aroma recognition game.
Mythical place, meeting and conviviality, combining tradition and future.

4.00Jean-Michel, our Oenologist-Zythologist, had an appointment with Grégory Pecastaing, wine merchant and Founding President of the Musée du Vin et du Négoce, at 41, rue Borie, in the Chartrons district, emblematic place of the Port de la Lune, Bordeaux, called the merchants district. An invitation to discover three centuries of history and fame of the great wines of Bordeaux and their trade. An imposing façade of a building built in 1720, is, according to history, the building of Louis XV’s royal broker, Louis Capet, and especially that of a former Irish merchant, Francis Burke, who was already referenced in the circuits of the World Capital of Wine Tourism and Wine. Project set up in association, Bordeaux Historia Vini, in 2007 to enhance the heritage and the past, so special, of the neighborhood. The museum opened in June 2008 and the exhibition is housed in three semi-buried and vaulted cellars. Welcoming and souvenir shop are located in the old cooperage, on the ground floor. The permanent collection replaces the barrels initially stored with historical, unique objects, rare bottles, winemaking equipment, testimonies of the past and present, with film screenings and numerous documents and thematic panels, explanatory. They trace the Bordeaux wine trade system, with the evolution of the trade, from the privilege of Bordeaux wines, dating from the Middle Ages, to the present day. The history of the great herding merchant families of the nineteenth century, passing through the wine trades and work, in the cellars, in the holdings and the links, very strong, between the winemakers. On display, a barrel, made by the cooperage Sylvain de Libourne, in Morat oak, of 340 years, (1656-2006), from the Tronçais federal forest, located in the northwest of the department of Allier. The tasting area is the apotheosis of this place of relaxation and cultural enrichment. One could push the song, on the words of Pierre Delanoë, in 1970, for the Musician Performer, Joe Dassin (1938-1980), of the song entitled, Billy le Bordeauxlais. A song that sells the benefits of Bordeaux wines and especially that of the Saint-Emilion. Joe Dassin was inducted by the Brotherhood of Companions of Bordeaux, singing, -the good wine of Saint-Emilion, it gives you a lion's heart! Prince, Duke or Marquess. Or Monsieur de Bordeaux. Your blood is made of wine. Much more than water is.
Very informative.
