Itinerary

  1. 1

    Place de la Comedie

    Pass by

    The starting point of your oenological journey will make you discover very colorful, powerful and harmonious wines and the terroirs on which they are produced. These wines will defy time in your cellar. The Médoc, which stretches over 80 km, is a peninsula that takes shape north of the Bordeaux agglomeration and ends at the Pointe des Graves. The wine route, which crosses it, is long and winding and offers you time to discover a mosaic of plots, dotted with castles of very different styles, sometimes flamboyant, sometimes romantic, sometimes austere. You will be amazed by this legendary route.

  2. 2

    Chateau Dauzac

    1.3 hours

    Dauzac is the first Château that borders the mythical Route des Châteaux. Fifth Grand Cru Classified as Margaux. It was his steward who invented the "Bordeaux porridge", made from copper sulphate and water. Still in use today, this treatment is one of the few authorized in organic farming. A tasting of the wines of the property will be offered at the end of the visit. Example of a visit. The castle visited may be different depending on the availability in the properties. Visit and tasting not included in the Tour Award.

The vineyard stretched from Château Beychevelle to Château Latour. Divided into three parts, the Châteaux Léoville Las Cases, Léoville Barton and Léoville Poyferré survive today. The Castle Guide will share with you the secrets of vine work, the different techniques used for winemaking and the methods of maturing in oak barrels.
