Holiday Gift-Giving Suggestions for the Bordeaux Wine Lover By Cheryl MacDonald, Specialty Product Advisor , Notables By PEI Liquor
Ah, Bordeaux! This enchanting French region has nurtured Vitis vinifera—the noble European grape varietals—for over 2,000 years. It’s home to legends like Château Pape Clément, one of the region’s first Grands Crus, with its inaugural harvest dating back to 1252. Talk about a vintage! When I think about grapes, vines, and wines, I can’t help but draw parallels to people. Just like us, the vines thrive best in challenging conditions. They wrestle with inhospitable soils, bravely weather storms, and dig their roots deep into rugged terrain. It’s these resilient vines that produce wines rich in complexity, secrets, and stories—much like the fascinating individuals in our lives.
