The cellars also illustrate the Bordeaux wine trade with a number of collections that take you beyond the two seas. The spirit of Chartrons and the Bordeaux wine trade are captured with the sophisticated architectural style of the 18th century.

This museum is full of information - jam packed, but it is all printed in folders or in little font on the wall. I imagine you could spend the allotted 2/3 hours, but we whizzed through in about 45 minutes, which was fine. It is basically two vaulted wine cellars, so it is a physically small space. The wine tasting was worth the price by itself. Again - packed with information, but because a guide is talking to you directly it is easier to follow. Detailed information about regions, soil, climate and trade. Not massively generous in the tastings, but you are in Bordeaux - step outside and fine a glass of wine if you just want to drink it. i would recommend this for the wine tasting at the end.
An excellent introduction to the Bordeaux wine trade both historically and of recent times - good videos and displays and we enjoyed the included wine tasting
