The Guide to Visiting Bordeaux Featuring Aaron Pott

Château Margaux. Lafite-Rothschild. Petrus. Château d’Yquem. Despite the exclusive reputation—wealth, power, status—that Bordeaux has earned, the region is also a hotbed for affordability and accessibility. We’ve invited Quintessa winemaker Aaron Pott who formerly served as winemaker at Bordeaux’s Château Troplong Mondot and Château la tour Figeac, to help you navigate Bordeaux as a wine lover: you’ll learn the best time to book you trip, why you shouldn’t take no for an answer, and which Bordeaux region is his favorite to visit.
