I was honoured and then awed to be a guest of the Caudalie family for an intimate week at their Bordeaux hotel + spa @lessourcesdecaudalie. The adjacent vineyard Château Smith Haut Lafitte, is where the @caudalieus story began in the early 1990s, when the founders @mathildethomas and her husband Bertrand learned that grape seeds contain a powerful antioxidant, that helps ward off free radical damage in the skin. Two years later, the duo launched their first skincare line built around stabilized grape polyphenols, and the rest is history. Caudalie now is one of the most sustainable French pharmaceutical beauty brands known worldwide. Standing on the grounds of their family villa, savouring their wine, learning about the tasting notes from Mathilde’s parents, creating my own vinoperfect radiance serum, are all memories I will cherish forever.
