Very pleasant visit to this beautiful museum!!! - Beautiful museum, well designed, intelligent and exciting about Bordeaux wines A dynamic young team makes wine taste: and they know well Enology! We bought qqs DIY and three bottles at reasonable prices, because well advised!

Great small museum with wine tasting - A very enjoyable visit to this small but informative and well presented museum, finished off by an equally informative and pleasant wine tasting.

Woww a must-see - Very rewarding visit! I particularly liked the audio guide, which makes the discovery even clearer and more enjoyable. Service was impeccable and personalized. The blonde employee who gave us the tasting was particularly interesting and captivating. We also had a lot of fun participating in the aroma recognition game.

Very informative. - Very informative museum in an immersive place. The tasting accompanied by explanations on the origin of the wines tasted to end this visit was very appreciative.

Don't skip this just because you've been to Cite du Vin - An interesting traditional contrast to the very modern Cite du Vin. My wife was mesmerized by the film on barrel making and we both enjoyed the included wine tasting.

Very interesting - The museum is located in a very nice neighborhood of Bordeaux. We visited it with the audio guide and it was interesting. Very nice was the tasting guided with professionalism and kindness by Mathilde. Long live!

Excellent museum about wine and the wine trade - Excellent museum about wine and the wine trade. This is a small museum located in an old wine cave. The museum provides a booklet in English that is very helpful in understanding the exhibits and many of the longer signs were also in English. The exhibits cover such topics as the history and growth of the wine trade in Bordeaux (folks from many different countries were involved over the centuries), making corks, the different classifications of Bordeaux wines, and the machinery used in producing wines. It was very interesting! The tour ends with a tasting of two wines, neither of which were particularly impressive. (One of the wines was a claret that had not been aged – as they used to make it before the aging process was developed – and it had little taste or color.)

Highly recommended experience. - this was quite a ice find. very relaxed, good value, plenty of history of the Bordeaux region wine history with audio via phone or typed guide available also. the museum is not huge but takes about 30 mins to browse. the wine tasting was very good with lots to absorb o the various wines of the region. a nice gift shop with lots of reasonably priced good wines to bring home. highly recommended.

Mythical place, meeting and conviviality, combining tradition and future. - Jean-Michel, our Oenologist-Zythologist, had an appointment with Grégory Pecastaing, wine merchant and Founding President of the Musée du Vin et du Négoce, at 41, rue Borie, in the Chartrons district, emblematic place of the Port de la Lune, Bordeaux, called the merchants district. An invitation to discover three centuries of history and fame of the great wines of Bordeaux and their trade. An imposing façade of a building built in 1720, is, according to history, the building of Louis XV’s royal broker, Louis Capet, and especially that of a former Irish merchant, Francis Burke, who was already referenced in the circuits of the World Capital of Wine Tourism and Wine. Project set up in association, Bordeaux Historia Vini, in 2007 to enhance the heritage and the past, so special, of the neighborhood. The museum opened in June 2008 and the exhibition is housed in three semi-buried and vaulted cellars. Welcoming and souvenir shop are located in the old cooperage, on the ground floor. The permanent collection replaces the barrels initially stored with historical, unique objects, rare bottles, winemaking equipment, testimonies of the past and present, with film screenings and numerous documents and thematic panels, explanatory. They trace the Bordeaux wine trade system, with the evolution of the trade, from the privilege of Bordeaux wines, dating from the Middle Ages, to the present day. The history of the great herding merchant families of the nineteenth century, passing through the wine trades and work, in the cellars, in the holdings and the links, very strong, between the winemakers. On display, a barrel, made by the cooperage Sylvain de Libourne, in Morat oak, of 340 years, (1656-2006), from the Tronçais federal forest, located in the northwest of the department of Allier. The tasting area is the apotheosis of this place of relaxation and cultural enrichment. One could push the song, on the words of Pierre Delanoë, in 1970, for the Musician Performer, Joe Dassin (1938-1980), of the song entitled, Billy le Bordeauxlais. A song that sells the benefits of Bordeaux wines and especially that of the Saint-Emilion. Joe Dassin was inducted by the Brotherhood of Companions of Bordeaux, singing, -the good wine of Saint-Emilion, it gives you a lion's heart! Prince, Duke or Marquess. Or Monsieur de Bordeaux. Your blood is made of wine. Much more than water is.
