Bordeaux vineyards
Médoc
Between Atlantic Ocean on the West and vastest estuary of Europe in the East, Médoc stretches over 80 km from the north of Bordeaux up to the top of Grave where the Garonne River throws itself into the ocean.
Protected from the Atlantic Ocean by a huge forest, Médoc enjoys an ideal situation with its clime and his stone (limestone) particularly advantageous for the production of grapes of high quality. His special land regroups the most prestigious of Great vintages classified by Bordeaux (classification of 1855) as well as of numerous Bourgeois vineyards.
On the Châteaux Road discover the famous appellations : Haut-Médoc, Listrac, Margaux, Moulis, Médoc, Saint Julien, Saint Estèphe, Pauillac...
Saint Emilion
Saint Emilion, located at 35 km in the Northeast of Bordeaux, stands on the north cost of the valley of Dordogne. There you will be enticed by his special heritage!
Real roofless museum, you will dive across the picturesque alleyways into the history of Saint Emilion: the surrounding wall for the collegiate church, the nunnery of the Cordeliers and his cloister…
But Saint Emilion is also to be visited subterranean: Entirely dug in the calcareous rock, the monolithic church is the vastest of Europe. Catacombs, Hermitage and the Chapel of Trinidad complete this troglodytic group!
But what makes the reputation of Saint Emilion is also and especially its vineyard.
Nicknamed the “hill of 1000 vineyards”, the vineyard of Saint Emilion benefits from a micro climate and from a big diversity of lands, revealing a broad range of wines with unique tastes.
