Every day, the Mirabelle will take you to a great Bordeaux wine region. The choice is vast: there are some 57 appellations. Although it might seem that wines from each region are easy to identify, the reality is more complex, and even great connoisseurs can be surprised by the incredible range of bouquets and flavours.
Jean-Luc Magnac, oenologist and wine consultant for the cruise, will clue you in what to watch for and provide all the information you need to understand Bordeaux wines: topography, geology, grape varieties, etc., as well as recommended matches with food.
Chef and Jean-Luc are past masters in the art of finding just the right balance between food and wine for creating unforgettable gastronomic experiences.
