Have you tried using the often overlooked AA-codeshares with the French TGV? You might want to look into that option: AA to CDG, CDG to Bordeaux St Jean on TGV.

In my experience air-to-HSR actually gets there equally fast because there's less time involved in waiting for your connecting flight. Plus when you arrive, you're already in the heart of Bordeaux. ^
