Médoc Private Wine Tour - a day amongst some of Bordeaux's most famous châteaux

Visit and taste wines at three grand cru classé châteaux with chance to lunch in between at a local restaurant where we'll rub shoulders with the Bordeaux world of wine! In the Medoc (Left Bank) I'll show you an example of the key terroirs in the famous village appellations of Margaux, St Julien, Pauillac and St Estephe. Impressive grand châteaux are located here in the flattish landscape of this peninsula. As we ascend the gravel stones the soil increases and so there is more and more Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend (a key word here in Bordeaux) and the wines get more fullbodied. My personal favourites include a biodynamic classified Pauillac growth and St Julien with bottles dating back to 1815. There are also smaller properties to visit here in lesser known appellations (such as Listrac, Moulis or the interesting Haut Medoc) on the 'wrong side' of the border of their famous neighbours (at a fraction of the price). This tour give you a wonderful insight into Bordeaux, by a local guide!
