In the Médoc region, Crus Bourgeois tastings take place in the handsomest properties
Comprising 280 châteaux members, the Crus Bourgeois association extends an open invitation to tastings and wine country tourism in the most outstanding properties of the Médoc region.
Château Lestage: a Napoleon III setting
This flamboyant 19th century château is nestled at the heart of the vineyard, whose gentle slope is the culminating point of the Médoc. In the hands of the Chanfreau family since 1963, the wines produced on the estate, white and red, are known for their refinement, with a wide aromatic palette that allows a long ageing period in cellars. ww.vignobles-chanfreau.com
Château le Boscq: conquering the Medoc vinyards
Built in 1891, this majestic estate in the village of Saint-Estèphe offers a view on the Gironde estuary, and displays on its bottle tags a gabarre boat as symbol of the property. Well referenced in guides, its wines have the Cru Classé appellation, and the estate is an ideal departure base to visit the area. saint-estephe.fr/nos-chateaux/le-boscq/
Château Larose-Trintaudon: a beacon on an ocean of vines
It's in 1870 that Comte Ernest de Lahens had this odd-looking château built, surmounted by a tower with the allures of a beacon in the middle of an ocean of perfectly upkept vines. This accessible excellent wine delights connoissers who collect its fruity vintages paying homage to the very best grapes. www.chateau-larose-trintaudon.fr
Château Paveil de Luze: a family property since 1862
Amongst the oldest properties in the Médoc region, this two-tower building is one of the strong points of the Grands Crus Road, at Margaux. Spanning 32 hectares, its vineyard, composed of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vintages, cultivates a French style garden, with as byword strong sensitivy for the environment and a passion for its land. www.chateaupaveildeluze.com
