Launch of « Bordeaux experiences»

The program of promotion undertaken by the CIVB (Interprofessional Council of Bordeaux

(buyers of retail, restaurants, etc...).

This is the gallery of "Olympia" became the scene encounters between lovers and producers
of Bordeaux presented, tasted and shared with the guests knowing seduce the public with
specific words and warm.

Trainers / winemakers of Bordeaux Wine School, called for the occasion "Bordeaux Coach",
played a special role to listen to guests as they have helped define their "tribe" in the colors
of Bordeaux and in a few minutes to acquire tips to refine and affirm the Bordeaux they need.


There is necessarily a Bordeaux wine to each according to his tastes and the time that you
want to share, I just had to find it from:
