A great opportunity for consumers all over the world, to take an enjoyable, cultural break in the current situation of lockdown: "BORDEAUX CHEZ VOUS" / "BORDEAUX AT HOME"

During this period of quarantine in France and around the world, in Belgium, the United Kingdom, Germany, China, Japan and the USA, Bordeaux wines are communicating via a special series of bitesize video clips.

The Bordeaux Wine School has been publishing on Bordeaux Wines' social media, since 14th April, a series of informative, bitesize video clips filmed in vineyards, apartments or properties of the Wine School’s educators.  From the life of the vine to the keys to wine tasting, as well as pairing wine with food, these video clips are an occasion to travel to the Bordeaux wine region from your own home.

Quite simply, from their own homes, Bordeaux Wine School tutors continue to share their passion and practical suggestions adapted to the days ahead.  In these bitesize video clips, not teachers, but wine makers, cellar masters, endearing people, all qualified wine tutors and above all fired up with enthusiasm for conveying the know-how and skill of the craftspeople of the Bordeaux wine region.  

So, to begin, you can listen to and watch Sally, a wine maker in Fronsac:
