It is no secret that we at Bibendum have long had a love affair with Bordeaux – the place, the people, the wines. Launched in 2020, our revolution- ary Bordeaux Collection is the home of Bordeaux for the hospitality industry in the UK, with the aim to reinvigorate drinking of premium Bordeaux wines. The Bordeaux Collection shakes up the way that Bordeaux wines are sold to the UK On Trade, allowing sommeliers and wine buyers to build a direct relationship with some of the most prestigious properties in Bordeaux, with significant support including a calendar of events, masterclasses and trips to the estates. Growing from an initial list of estates, including Mouton Rothschild, Pichon Baron, d’Issan and Cos d’Estournel, the collection now includes a comprehensive list of some of Bordeaux’s most famous and prestigious properties, with recent additions featuring Domaines Barons de Roth- schild (Lafite-Rothschild, Carruades de Lafite, Duhart- Milon & Evangile), Figeac, Montrose, Cantenac Brown, Beausejour Becot, Smith Haut Lafitte and Suduiraut.
