Following in the footsteps of her grandfather, Louis Filippi, Anne-Sophie will tell you all about the history of Château de Boutillon. This wine-producing château is said to have been a regular supplier to the King's court. On this 17-hectare vineyard planted on clay-limestone soil between the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, the third generation of the family produces a Bordeaux Supérieur red, several vintages of which have been distinguished in the Hachette guides and at the regional Aquitaine wine competition. Visit by appointment.

The origins of this château date back to 1648, making it one of the oldest vineyard estates in Sainte-Croix-du-Mont. Jean-Guy Meric oversees the destiny of this beautiful 18-hectare vineyard. The vines, 100% Semillon, are over 30 years old, harvested by successive selections to select the best grapes at their peak of ripeness, when noble rot has done its work. Sweet wines are aged in oak barrels (Château Bel Air and Château Haut-Valentin). Also: an A.O.C. Cadillac Château Croix de Bern. Visits by appointment only.

In the same family for four generations, this estate is frequently cited as a benchmark, and its various vintages have won no fewer than fifty medals at national competitions. The vineyard covers 20 hectares in the Sainte-Croix-du-Mont appellation. Hand-harvested, traditionally vinified, aged in oak barrels for special cuvées... Needless to say, a visit is a must! On the program: red, rosé and white Bordeaux.

This union of producers makes the harvest of its 75 members and markets a part of it in its shop where it will be possible to guide itself through the various designations: Bordeaux, Bordeaux superior, between-sea and coast of Bordeaux saint-macaire. Apart from bulk wine - from 1,15 € to 2,30 € per litre - you will be presented with the wines of the'La Girondaise'brand, which display beautiful original skins: one between 2005 and 3,20 € white seas, a coast of Bordeaux saint-macaire 2005 sweet to 4,60 €, a sublime Bordeaux superior 2001 selection to 4,40 € and its astonishing pearl of rosé - subtle assembly of the 3 Bordeaux grape varieties and a vintage of yesteryear, the malbec: at 3,40 €. In particular, you are recommended to Bordeaux higher than 2003 to 4,40 €, made by the new wine oenologist: its garde wine is simply bluffing. Two wines of castles - castle Chansonnet and castle Trash-Daubet - from separate vinification upon reception of the harvest, are also marketed at 4 € the bottle. To discover…

In 2015, Vignobles Moncets & Chambrun undertook a major transformation to ensure the long-term future of their operation. The vineyard and winery were radically modified, and Château de Chambrun was integrated. Today, the estate covers 33 hectares divided into 43 parcels. In addition to integrated vineyard management, a conversion to organic farming has been launched. The creation of a pond in the château's grounds, designed to enhance biodiversity and promote a clean ecosystem, is also an important initiative.

Created in the 1690s, this family estate is a Grand Cru Classé of 1855. The house, built in 1840 by the architect Duphot at the request of the Countess of Lalande, has been restored with great care.

Very interesting, the wines rhyme with elegance, complexity and charm.

Château Latour, created in 1680, is one of the oldest vineyards in the Médoc. Since then, the boundaries of the plantation have not changed, a rare occurrence for a wine estate. The same perenniality as for its prestigious notoriety acquired at the beginning of the 18th century thanks to the action of its owner, the Marquis de Ségur, confirmed in 1855 when it was classified as a first great growth. In the center of the 47 ha of the enclosure, the round and white tower, built in the 18th century, proudly watches over the estate, only a few dozen meters from the estuary.

Pellegrue's traditional market is held every Wednesday morning in the town center. However, during the summer months (July and August), the bastide also boasts night markets.

After the third episode of drought in 7 years, it became clear that working the soil had to be approached differently! Since then, the family farm produces 6 appellations on a surface of 12 hectares in organic farming. Thus, all the wines of the Château have been certified "organic" since the 2013 vintage. Today in the hands of André, Nicole and their eldest son Guillaume, the vineyard offers excellent productions of Bordeaux Clairet, Premières Côtes de Bordeaux and Entre-Deux-Mers, which have been awarded many times in international competitions.

Château Haut-Piquat offers a magnificent view of the hills covered with vines and woods, and is home to the remarkable Picampeau mound, where an astonishing megalith stands.

We read everything, heard about the exceptional qualities of Patrick Ducournau, the "gifted De", and his exploits throughout his young career. An improvement that one owes in part to the process of oxygenation wines that this eternal young man has invented and which is now school, used in all the world's largest vineyards. A gifted, certainly, a brain constantly boiling at least!

And the man in the field continues to run the world…
