Of course your are mesmerized by the sheer number of wines located around the walls - all the way up 5 stories! Gregg M and I found what I thought were some good Bordeaux wines for a good price. I can honestly say that when in Bordeaux again I will definitely go back here to find good wines. Also, if you don't know what your looking for - ask. The staff was very friendly and always wiling to help with your selection. Don't be intimidated by the prices of some of the wines. They do have many of the first growths, but they also have some of the other growths at very affordable prices.

Vins de picole, vins conviviaux; mais aussi vins fins et pour les belles occasions.

It is definitely worth visiting Badie if you are wine shopping in Bordeaux, where you will be very well advised by some hardened old timers of the French wine industry.
