Le Cohé Competitors

Sense of detail and service of a Palace combined with a warm and family atmosphere. Les Sources de Caudalie, located among the vineyards of Château Smith Haut Lafitte, a Graves great growth, was established in 1999. The concept behind Les Sources de Caudalie is inspired by the "French Paradox", discovered over 20 years ago. It refers to a study proving that the French diet and lifestyle, particularly in Southwest France, is conducive to good health. Between vineyards and forests, at only 20 minutes from Bordeaux center, the architect Yves Collet created from scratch contemporary buildings from recycled local materials in tune with the surroundings. Alice and Jérôme Tourbier have managed Les Sources de Caudalie for the past ten years in keeping with the values they hold dear: well-being, generosity, authenticity, high-quality service, and emotion. Welcome to a universe where everything is devoted to nature, taste and senses. Welcome to the Palace of the vines : Les Sources de Caudalie

An accredited charitable organisation since December 2014, the primary purpose of Fondation pour la culture et les civilisations du vin (Foundation for Wine Culture and Civilisations) is to protect, celebrate and transmit the cultural, historic and intellectual dimensions of wine, officially acknowledged as an element of France’s cultural heritage in 2014. The Foundation is also committed to bringing this living, universal heritage to the widest possible audience. The three founding members of the Fondation pour la culture et les civilisations du vin are the City of Bordeaux, the Bordeaux Wine Board and the bank Crédit Agricole Aquitaine. The foundation is also fortunate enough to be backed by the Clarence and Anne Dillon Dunwalke Trust and HRH Prince Robert of Luxembourg. The City of Bordeaux, commissioning authority and owner of the building, will put La Cité du Vin entirely at the disposal of the Fondation pour la culture et les civilisations du vin, allowing the foundation to fulfil its mission: acknowledging, celebrating and promoting wine as an icon of our universal, living heritage. The foundation is thus responsible for the operations and future development of Cité des civilisations du vin. In addition to running La Cité du Vin, the foundation will back cultural, educational and scientific projects and actions in France and around the world which correspond to its three core priorities: recognising the cultural and historic importance of wine, celebrating and passing on the immense wealth of knowledge accumulated in the field of wine, and supporting further research and public action focused on the culture and civilisations of wine.

Véritable institution, cette auberge champêtre a tout le goût d’autrefois… Sanguette, macaronade, frites à la graisse de canard : le terroir est défendu avec conviction, et l’on se régale de copieux plats du Sud-Ouest, mais aussi de viandes rôties et de légumes de saison – de beaux produits exposés sur le comptoir et qui mettent en appétit. Incontournable !
