About L'Intendant
THE WORLD OF BORDEAUX WINES
L’Intendant is located in Bordeaux’s famous “Triangle d’Or” (Golden Triangle), the historic heart of the city, behind the façade of an 18th century townhouse. Upon entering this wine shop founded by Duclot in 1989, wine enthusiasts will discover a circular 12-metre tower with a spiral staircase reaching up through five floors.
The 1,200 oak wine racks lining the walls of the tower contain over 1,600 labels. A library dedicated to Bordeaux wines.
Each step is magical, leading to rare wines, old vintages and large formats…
L’Intendant has been owned by Duclot, the Wine Merchant, since 1989. Duclot also owns Badie, an institution in Bordeaux, on the Allées Tourny.
Our selection
GREAT BORDEAUX WINES
Prestigious appellations, traditional know-how, a wealth of vintages… The Bordeaux wine region’s extraordinary history and geographical location are what make it unique. Its legendary vineyards provide wine lovers with new discoveries as well as established wines. The five floors of the tower will reveal a rich and diverse range. Pauillac, Margaux, Pessac-Léognan, Saint-Emilion or Pomerol; fill your glass with the magic of great Bordeaux wines. A range curated to satisfy every palate and budget, for every occasion.
1,600 labels to fulfil your every wish: iconic and rare wines, large formats (from magnum to imperial), old and legendary vintages, younger wines, ready for drinking or to be carefully cellared, and organic wines. The emblematic estates from the Left and Right Banks rub shoulders with lesser-known estates from the most sought-after as well as the more discreet appellations.
