Oliver Cuvelier took the reins in 1985 and has developed a wide range of fine Bordeaux wines.
Bordeaux is the world’s leading wine-producing region. It was geographically predestined to produce the world’s finest wines. The region has an ideal climate — moderated by the Gulf Stream, tempered by the Atlantic Ocean, with the tallest sand dunes in Europe and the forest of the Lands providing a natural wind barrier protecting the vineyards. The great diversity of microclimates and soils (clay, gravel, chalk, limestone) are ideally suited to Bordeaux’s different grape varieties.
Cuvelier wine merchant founded in Haubourdin by Henri Cuvelier in 1804.
