The new and beautiful Citè du Vin in Bordeaux, entirely dedicated to wine culture
Almost everyone immediately associates the city of Bordaux to wine, it’s an important point of reference in global oenology, as high quality wine has been produced here for over 300 years. It’s a modern city, in the Unesco world heritage list since 2007, it has the airport of Aquitaine, with rivers and nature transforming the region into a fairy-tale place, also characterised by a culinary rebirth. It’s no coincidence that the New York Times has included it in its list of not to be missed destinations and a certain Robuchon is about to open a pastry shop in the historic centre together with wine entrepreneur Bernard Magrez. Early in June they’ll open La Citè du Vin in Bordeaux: a palace made with wood and natural materials, the work of the Xtu firm in Paris to be dedicated to wine culture, with a reading room with 1,200 volumes on the topic. A virtual, sensorial, educational, universal journey that will culminate with unusual tastings.
