The French side, who won 55-15 against Sarries in January, scored five second half tries to seal a dominant display.
Saracens, who were without departing captain Owen Farrell, scored consolation tries through Alex Lewington and Tom Willis.
Bordeaux will face another London club, Harlequins, in the next round.
Mateo Garcia, Nicolas Depoortere and Louis Bielle-Biarrey all scored two tries apiece as the hosts racked up 100 points over two games against Saracens.
Bordeaux only led by 10 points at the break after Garcia's opening try and Maxime Lucu's penalty.
