For centuries, Bordeaux wines have traversed rivers, seas, and oceans to conquer the world. This vineyard could never have known such a destiny without the development of its port, which is open both to the hinterland and to lAtlantique.Voguent les Vins, a Bordeaux story told through texts, images, portraits, and interviews, chronicles 2,000 years of history where political and strategic stakes intersect with religious and territorial demands, fiscal and economic privileges, as well as prominent French figures, European dynasties, winemakers, merchants, traders, and shipowners ready to disrupt habits to meet the enthusiasm for Bordeaux wines. Prosperous periods, epic moments, violent oppositions, troubled times—wine and port have faced many setbacks that have not prevented the Girondine city from becoming a "world city" before its time.
