This totally changed the feel of the tour as the large group socialized, took campy photos, and made the tasting experience crowded and chaotic. Our charming guide, Rodrigo, did his best to manage the large group, which we appreciate. The tasting was just okay, no chance to explain much about the wine, no water or small snacks to cleanse the palate and no offers to taste anything special or extra. My husband and I have been on wine tours all around the world and have never experienced anything like this. Typically I do book independent tours or private guides, but we only had one day in Bordeaux and thought this might give us a flavor of the region in a shorter time frame. I recommend that the management provide large groups their own guide and space so as not to impact the experience of other guests. If you are looking for a more personal experience this may not be worth your time.

Came here today for a wine tour and tasting. The tour was was wonderful. It was interesting and…read morethe grounds were beautiful. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and kept things moving. My biggest disappointment was the wine tasting. We tasted 3 wines. A white Bordeaux and 2 reds. I didn't care for any of them. I really wanted to like this and ship a case home but since the 3 I tasted we're not what I like, I left empty handed.

A great family-run Château in the Saint Emilion area. The tasting room is situated among seemingly…read moreendless grapevines and has a fantastic rooftop patio to enjoy the weather while trying their wines. The tasting can include either two or four wines. Our group opted to do four tastes which included a choice of either white or rose, followed by three of their reds, including a 100% Merlot, and two different red blends. All four were good, with the final pour, the Château Mauvinon 2021, being our favorite. We had made a reservation ahead of time but it was not very busy when we arrived and could imagine that they might be able to accommodate walk ins. We were also fairly hungry when we arrived and ordered two of their charcuterie boards which were a nice complement to our wine tasting. Overall, a very laid-back tasting in a beautiful environment.

My wife and I ended at the Chateau by mistake as we booked a wine tasting at another nearby Chateau…read morewith a similar name but all the while intending to come to this location. Luckily we came on slow day and there wasnt any tasting going on so they were willing to accomodate us. Since it was just us, it was a very personal tasting experience and we ended up coming home with a couple of bottles. We knew that this was one of the most renouned Chateau's based on the fact that it was mentioned a few times in the TV show Frasier. I did also notice that the airport had a couple of bottles from the estate for sale but didnt look to see the price or which vintage. At the chateau they have a few vintages for sale so depending on your price point you could get certain years that were better than others. I guess will see if we ever open it or decide to sell it later if the price skyrockets.

Luckily while eating at a restaurant for a special dinner, the sommelier informs us that one of the other patrons has left them a bottle of 1986 Chareau Haut Brion and would like to share some with us. Holy moly! I dont know who this patron is but they can just afford to leave Haut Brion laying around? So we split a glass and it's certainly one of the more amazing wines I've ever tried. Earthiness and complexity in both the nose and palate are incredible. Im not sure Im wine educated enough to really describe whats truly going on. What is important is I like it and it's fantastic. I shouldnt get too attached though, it might be cheaper to have a drug habit

Stopped here on our trip to St Emiilion back in July and had a pleasant experience. Did a little…read moretasting, the host was super informative. Overall decent experience. We decided to purchase wine and we were told it would be X amount of dollars to have wine shipped (maybe 30 or so). Seemed a little expensive but we were told that would cover all costs (shipping, customs, etc). Wine arrived shortly after we got home and all was good. About 3 weeks after getting home, we received an additional bill from FedEx for an additional 35 dollars for customs fees that we were told would be covered in the initial shipping cost. Essentially 65 dollars to have 3 bottles shipped. I attempted to reach out without any resolution other than "I'm sorry that happened, it happens occasionally". Over the past 3 weeks I have found all 3 bottles that we had purchased at this wine shop at various places here in the US (Costco, local artisan grocery stores, etc) for a fraction of the price of what we paid. Can't help but feel a little exploited. Not only was the wine heavily marked up but hidden costs of shipping made the price come out to an additional 20/bottle. Beware. Don't be stupid tourists like us.

Such an excellent place to visit and you will leave with a wealth of knowledge and hopefully a few bottles to take with you.
