European Project in the Picturesque Wine Capital of the
World
TORONTO, July 30,
2024 /CNW/ -- The Cabot Collection, developer and
operator of luxury resort and residential golf destinations,
announces the portfolio addition of Golf Du Médoc Resort, a premier
destination for golf and wine enthusiasts located in Bordeaux, France. The captivating property,
now known as Cabot Bordeaux, is
set across 400 acres of verdant landscape, tucked between rolling
vineyards and picturesque French countryside. This marks a
significant milestone for Cabot as it expands its international
presence to include its first continental European location.

"Bordeaux holds a special place
in the hearts of travelers worldwide, known not only for its rich
history and stunning landscapes, but also for its remarkable
culinary offerings and universally revered wine," said Ben Cowan-Dewar, CEO and co-founder of Cabot.
"We are thrilled to now have a presence in this iconic destination
and look forward to offering guests unforgettable experiences that
seamlessly blend exploration and cultural immersion with
world-class golf."
Nestled in the enchanting region of southwest France, Cabot Bordeaux promises a harmonious
blend of luxurious wine country sophistication and laidback charm.
The property showcases two 18-hole championship golf courses
designed by acclaimed architects Bill
Coore and Rod Whitman. Both
courses are lauded among the best in Europe by Golf Magazine and Golf
Digest. The resort also includes a 79-room hotel, refined
restaurant showcasing regional French cuisine and world-class spa
featuring a heated indoor swimming pool, hammam, fitness room and
variety of treatments. The Bernard Pascassio Training Center is
complete with golf simulation rooms, a practice course
configuration, TaylorMade fitting room and more.
"Anyone playing Cabot Bordeaux is going to enjoy a distinctly
French experience," said Bill Coore,
golf course architect. "Going from Cabot Cape Breton to Cabot
Highlands to Cabot Saint Lucia to Cabot Bordeaux offers experiences
that are as different and as varied as you could ever imagine."
To play at Cabot Bordeaux is to step back in time. Its courses
beautifully showcase the essence of golf architecture in
France, paying homage to what
could have been. In the early 20th century, the world of golf
course design believed France was
the next frontier for exceptional work until World War I stopped
this momentum. Nevertheless, architects like Tom Simpson successfully identified interesting
pieces of land and created courses that were rich with strategy and
celebrated the golden age of architecture. Bill Coore and Rod
Whitman created their links in the 1980s to reconnect with
this history. Cabot will recapture the firmness of both courses,
bringing back their undeniable character.
Longtime General Manager Vincent
Paris sets the stage to ensure guests make memories that
will last a lifetime. The resort will be renewed with updated
design elements while preserving its historic charm. Visitors can
expect elevated immersive experiences, new destination-specific
activities, expanded amenities and an unwavering commitment to
quality synonymous with the Cabot brand. Interior design updates
will be led by acclaimed UK-based design firm Russell Sage
Studio.
"I am thrilled to be part of the transformation of Cabot
Bordeaux," said Russell Sage,
founder of Russell Sage Studio. "We are excited to collaborate with
local artisans to infuse the project with a distinct sense of
place. The property will seamlessly blend modern and classic design
elements, offering guests a home away from home enriched with
unforgettable golf, dining and opportunities for relaxation."
Known as the wine capital of the world, Bordeaux famously offers more than 250,000
acres of vineyards producing a diverse range of award-winning
wines. The destination is also home to beautiful quays; a plethora
of historical monuments, museums and castles; and a network of
high-speed trains facilitating easy exploration to neighboring
towns. Just a short drive from the resort lies the medieval village
of Saint-Émilion, an UNESCO World Heritage Site famed for its
2,000-year vineyard history and underground wine caves. The
Bordeaux-Merignac international airport is located twenty minutes
south of the property, and Paris is a two-hour train ride away.
This momentous announcement follows a series of notable recent
expansions for The Cabot Collection. Additional luxury resorts
anchored by world-class golf courses in the Cabot portfolio include
the award-winning Cabot Cape Breton in Nova Scotia, Cabot Saint Lucia in the
Caribbean, Cabot Revelstoke in
British Columbia, Cabot Citrus
