Welcome to... the Bordeaux Collection
In January 2020, we launched our Bordeaux Collection, a pioneering new partnership between Bibendum, several leading Bordeaux estates, and top negociant Compagnie Medocaine,that shakes up the selling of Bordeaux fine wine to the On Trade and independent retail markets.
What is the Bordeaux Collection?
Through this collaboration, Bibendum customers are now able to buy an ongoing selection of mature wines with perfect provenance directly from Bordeaux Chateaux cellars, ranging from Cru Bourgeois to First Growths, at extremely competitive prices.
The carefully selected range features over 60 mature Bordeaux fine wines. This project forges a new link between Bordeaux and the On Trade, a proposition that has not been seen in the trade.
Bibendum will be using the direct relationship with participating Chateaux to support an ambitious activation programme, providing staff tastings, time in trade, events and chateau visits throughout the year. Through these activities, we anticipate that Chateaux will be able to forge and foster relationships with prestigious on-trade accounts, changing the way that Cru Classe Bordeaux is sold in the UK.
A note from... Michael Saunders, Bibendum CEO
"This is a plan Georges Haushalter (of Compagnie Medocaine) and I hatched several years ago. We believe this project will revolutionise how top Bordeaux is sold in the On-Trade. With the majority of Bordeaux Cru Classe wines bought en primeur, we really wanted to facilitate better working relationships between the Chateaux and the restaurants their wines are sold in. Having the wines come direct from the cellars at competitive market prices is a first. This is just the start, and we plan to broaden this range of wines with ongoing availability across the year."
