And yes, Bordeaux also comes in white! Whether dry, mellow or sparkling, these wines testify to the richness of this wine-growing region. All with Protected Designation of Origin status, they reflect an ancestral know-how that continues to evolve over time, while offering freshness and diversity.


The Bordeaux region enjoys a temperate climate with an oceanic influence. This climate, combined with a wide variety of soils (gravel, clay-limestone, sand), enables us to grow a wide range of grape varieties that express the full richness of this terroir.
Bordeaux white wines are mainly produced from three main grape varieties:


• Sémillon: a key grape variety in the great dry and sweet white wines of Bordeaux, it brings roundness and richness. It is also used to make prestigious sweet wines such as Sauternes.

• Sauvignon blanc: This grape variety is known for its freshness and acidity. It brings lively aromas of tropical fruit, citrus and a fine minerality, particularly appreciated in dry wines.

• Muscadelle: although in the minority, it contributes delicate floral aromas to the blend, adding a further aromatic note.

The tradition of dry white wines in Bordeaux is perpetuated by 1,600 producers who create new cuvées: wines of character and generosity, lively and fruity whites, structured crus classés bursting with aromas, as well as atypical cuvées. There are 12 Protected Designations of Origin (PDO), covering more than 8,000 hectares. These wines account for 11% of Bordeaux production. The main grape varieties are Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon Gris.


Sweet white wines bear witness to the perfect harmony between nature and exceptional know-how. From this extremely delicate yet impressive balance emerge wines of exceptional flavor and intensity. Whether in cocktails or as an aperitif, a new breath of fresh air is created by new tasting experiences and inventive design.


There are 15 Protected Designations of Origin (PDO), 670 winegrowers and 2,500 hectares of vines! These wines represent 1% of Bordeaux production. The main grape varieties are Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Musc.

Although this appellation is one of the most recent in the Bordeaux region (1990), sparkling wine production combines a century-old tradition with modern success. The subtlety of the bubbles and the flavors of the Bordeaux grape varieties blend perfectly, adding a festive note. They are also available in white and rosé. There are 1 protected designation of origin (PDO), around 337 winegrowers and 1,824 hectares. Crémants account for 3% of Bordeaux vineyard production, and include all the region's grape varieties, both black and white.
