Bordeaux scored twice in the final seven minutes to dent Nantes' hopes of only a second win in 10 with a 2-2 draw at the Stade de la Beaujoire.
Les Canaris got off to the perfect start when Kolbeinn Sigthorsson handed them the lead inside 60 seconds, netting with a clinical finish beyond Cedric Carrasso.
And their lead was doubled before half-time after Ermir Lenjani picked out Alejandro Bedoya at the back post and he did the rest with a well-timed header.
However, Cheick Diabate headed home on 83 minutes to offer Bordeaux hope before Lorik Cana put through his own net from a corner to hand the visitors an unlikely point.
