Bordeaux is reeling as wildfires devastate its wine country, forcing evacuations and smothering tourism—the region’s lifeline. With smoke hanging heavy and officials urging visitors to stay away, winemakers like Edouard Le Grix de la Salle face a double blow: climate chaos and a shrinking market. Already battling youth-driven wine decline, global competition, and inflation, the industry’s last hope—tourism—is now gutted. Even untouched areas suffer reputational damage, while small businesses scramble to survive amid soaring energy costs and plummeting reservations. The mayor insists the city remains open for business, but the economic aftershocks are already mounting.
