Bordeaux
France's most iconic vineyard, between estuary and gravel.
Bordeaux is not just a wine region: it is a geography of distinct terroirs, shaped by the Gironde, Dordogne, and Garonne rivers. From the gravels of the Médoc to the limestones of Saint-Émilion, and the clay-limestone soils of Pomerol, each appellation imposes its own style — tannic power, aromatic elegance, or velvety roundness.
MAISON 1822 works directly with a select circle of Bordeaux properties, chosen for their consistent quality as well as their history. Our catalog covers the major appellations of both the Left and Right Banks.

THE BORDEAUX SPIRIT
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc dominate the grape varieties, blended according to specific balances for each château. The great Bordeaux vintages are distinguished by their exceptional aging potential — some of our references date back to the 1970s and 1980s.
