At Barton & Guestier, we have proclaimed the "Art de Vivre" (Art of Living), our company philosophy.

Whether in Bordeaux, at Château Magnol, a magical place of French art of living, or in other countries, we want to share this philosophy of pleasure, sharing and discovery. Guided by the pioneering spirit of our founder Thomas Barton, embracing as he did every chance to discover new emotions, we offer here some ideas for food & wine pairing in an informal, fun atmosphere, some original alliances that bring out the best in our wines and in the culinary cultures from around the world, to share a key moment of French culture, called "aperitif"!

In France, the cocktail before dinner called "apéritif" is an institution, a moment of sharing and pleasure. A moment that we want to extend and that becomes "apéritif dinatoire" or a cocktail dinner party during which a good glass of wine becomes a must. Peanuts and sausages that usually accompany our "apéros" are replaced by small bites, more elaborate, more festive and if possible home-made. Beyond the gustatory pleasure, these carefully prepared appetizers aim at offering pleasure to people we love and with whom we want to share convivial moments.
