“We don’t want to hear another word about the crisis in Bordeaux!” The phrase comes from Sylvie Courcelle from Château Thieuley, a Bordeaux Supérieur estate. She and 17 other young Bordeaux producers, all around 27-35 years old, recently unveiled their new initiative called Bordeaux Oxygène. The purpose is to show to the world that there is a lot of dynamism in Bordeaux, that Bordeaux is not just a place with stuffy old men, and that, yes, it can be young and trendy to drink Bordeaux wine. “But it’s not a revolution” underlines Florence Lagragette of Château Loudenne in Médoc, “We want to stay with traditions, but there is a need for new ideas, willingness to progress and above all, Bordeaux needs to become better at communications and marketing”.
