Bordeaux Values
For centuries, the French have been credited, not only with making great wine, but perfecting the art of winemaking itself. M&R has always treasured wines from France and more specifically, Bordeaux, just for the reason that there are not any in the world like them. In a recent trip to Bordeaux, six of the M&R managers were inducted into the Jurade de Saint-Emilion. The Jurade is an ancient brotherhood of wine, and this distinction is only bestowed on those deemed worthy enough to represent one of the world's finest wine growing regions- the wines of Bordeaux. Below is a few of our many Bordeaux selections that we personally recommend. If this has peaked your interest to learn more about this intriguing region, stop on in to one of our locations and speak with our managers one on one.
