Embarking on a Bordeaux Wine Experience in the heart of Bordeaux is a journey through some of the city's most exceptional wine bars. Here are our top three favorites :

1. Le Sobre Chartrons: Quality & Experience

Le Sobre Chartrons is a one-of-a-kind wine cellar and bar—a merchant and a wine bar combined. This means incredibly good pricing on all wines, from simple Bordeaux to Grand Cru Classé selections such as Cheval Blanc and Château Ausone. The bar features 24 wines by the glass, served via Enomatic dispensers, allowing you to choose between 30ml, 60ml, or 120ml pours—so you can explore all the wine regions of France without committing to a full glass of each. The knowledgeable staff offers personalized recommendations to enhance your Bordeaux Wine Experience.

Le Sobre Chartrons also serves delicious cuisine, with a special focus on gastronomic cheese, perfectly complementing its impressive wine list. For private gatherings, a back room is available for professionals and individuals (upon request for a quote).

We are also happy to announce that, starting February 17, we will be offering an on-request private "Super Grand Cru Classé Experience"—an exclusive wine tasting session in collaboration with Le Sobre Chartrons and Bordeaux Wine Pilgrim. This 90-minute journey features prestigious selections like Château d'Yquem, offering an unparalleled deep dive into Bordeaux’s wine heritage in an educational and friendly atmosphere.
