St Emilion Two Top Châteaux Private Full Day Wine Tour

I have lived for over 30 years here and so can offer an insider's view. We will visit two top châteaux, have lunch overlooking the vineyards, drive through the undulating countryside where I will fill you in on the culture, history and politics of the region. We will have time to visit the fascinating medieval town of St Emilion its cobbled streets and pass through Pomerol where Bordeaux's most expensive wines are found including Petrus. St Emilion (Right Bank) is a beautiful wine region with its vineyards planted on rolling hills around its medieval village. In these cooler soils of clay and limestone, Merlot is Queen with a top-up of Cabernet Franc. The properties are smaller here and many are still family-owned. It is known as 'the hill of a thousand châteaux' and it is important to visit some contrasting styles from the classified property where we go under the vines in limestone caves and another, which has been 'organic forever' and is run by the 14th generation of the same family today.
