Experience Details

Your personal guide will take advantage of the journey to tell you about one of the oldest wine-growing regions in France, already exploited by the Romans. You will discover the magnificent vineyards of the right bank of the Garonne, and the castles which make these appellations famous.

The visits have been reserved for you in areas of Saint-Emilion or Pomerol. Arriving at the castles, you will be taken for a guided tour of the cellars, the vines, the vat room... A tasting of the estate's wines will be offered to you at the end of each of the 3 visits.

What You’ll Experience

Place de la Comedie (Pass By)

As soon as you leave Bordeaux, you will discover the green countryside, and the multitude of plots of vines with evocative names. First the parcels of Entre-Deux-Mers between Garonne and Dordogne, then the appellations of Libournais, Pomerol, Lalande de Pomerol, Fronsac, and finally Saint-Émilion and its satellite appellations, Montagne-Saint-Émilion, Saint- Georges Saint-Émilion, Lussac Saint-Émilion, Puisseguin Saint-Émilion. You will enjoy discovering these castles in the middle of the vineyards. You will be charmed by the beauty of this heritage, which since the French Revolution has continued to improve.

Chateau Franc Mayne

We will take you to visit one of the magnificent castles for which the wines of Saint-Emilion are famous. Grape varieties, destemming, cuvaison, fermentation, fining... you will know everything about vinification, the different grape varieties used and the blended wines. You will be able to see that the modernism of today's cellars marries perfectly with ancestral working techniques in order to give birth, each year, to wonderful vintages, always having an assertive temperament. Château Franc-Mayne, by allowing you to visit the limestone plateau from the inside, will give you the keys to understanding the mineral notes of the Grands Crus of Saint-Emilion. This visit will conclude with a tasting of the estate's wines. During this tasting, you will be given valuable advice for aging, for your future purchases of Saint-Émilion wines. The castle is given as an example. The castle visited is subject to change, depending on the availability of the estates.
