On the programme

Planning a Médoc wine tour from Bordeaux? Join a small group of no more than 8 guests for an exclusive afternoon on the left bank — where the world's most prestigious châteaux and legendary Cabernet Sauvignon-driven wines await.

 

2:20 PM – Your English-speaking guide meets you in front of La Cité du Vin in Bordeaux, welcomes the group, and walks you through the afternoon ahead.

 

2:30 PM – Departure for your Bordeaux to Médoc wine tour in a comfortable 9-seat minivan. As you leave the city behind, your guide sets the scene: the history of Bordeaux's great wine estates, the dominance of Cabernet Sauvignon on the left bank, and the appellations that have shaped the wine world — Margaux, Saint-Julien, Saint-Estèphe, Pauillac. The Médoc landscape, with its flat gravel soils and endless rows of vines, is unlike anything you've seen before.

 

  • First stop — a Cru Bourgeois estate. Your Médoc château visit begins at a certified organic property, where you'll discover how these iconic wines are made and how the vineyard is managed sustainably. The visit concludes with a guided tasting of 3 wines from the estate, spanning three prestigious appellations: Haut-Médoc, Moulis-en-Médoc, and Margaux.

 

  • Second stop — a Grand Cru Classé from the legendary 1855 Classification. We then head to the village of Margaux for the centrepiece of this 1855 classification wine tour: a visit to a Grand Cru Classé estate practising organic or biodynamic farming. After a tour of the winemaking facilities, you'll sit down for a tasting of 3 wines from one of the Médoc's most celebrated properties — a rare opportunity to taste history in the glass.

 

Around 5:30 PM – Time to head back to Bordeaux. Depending on timing, we'll stop in front of the iconic Château Margaux for a photo opportunity. On the return journey, your guide will share their top picks for Bordeaux's best restaurants, wine bars, and local specialties worth seeking out.

 

6:30 PM – Return to Bordeaux (± 5 min.).

Très belle découverte !!

Commenté le 09/07/2024

Malgré une météo maussade, nous avons passé un très bon moment. J'ai beaucoup apprécié le fait d'aller visiter deux exploitations bio et les personnes sur place ont pris le temps de nous expliquer leur travail avec passion et connaissances. Nous avons pu poser toutes les questions que nous voulions et avons pu déguster de très bons vins. Le guide était également super, très à l'écoute et avait beaucoup d'humour. Je recommande cette excursion sans problème et chapeau bas aux vignerons qui se donnent les moyens de faire d'excellents vins, en privilégiant l'indépendance, la qualité et le bio-dynamisme plutôt que le rendement et la renommée de certains châteaux.

Visites interessantes et agréables

Commenté le 04/07/2024

le choix des châteaux visités était pertinent au château Ferrière pas assez de temps consacré à la technique biodynamique Il serait souhaitable de limiter le nombre de participants à 6 J'aurais souhaiter de voir de loin le vrai château "Margaux"
