The restaurant at Château de Léognan was recommended to us by one of the tour guides at Château La…read moreLouvière. Château de Léognan is beautifully situated in hectares of land with horses, trees, an inn and a restaurant. We did not have reservations, but the restaurant was very happy to accommodate our group of 12. They have a really nice and big outdoor area, but as it was raining on and off that day, we had to sit inside. Thankfully, they were able to put four tables together for our big group. We got the menu (I got the one in French and a menu in English was shared by the others in our group) and promptly ordered our entrée to start off our lunch, bottles of sparkling and still waters, and a bottle of white wine. Some of us ordered the Crevette Marinées (shrimp ceviche) which was served in a martini glass, the Œuf cocotte, and the Melba de tomate mozzarella au pistou. Mine was the ceviche and it was good. I really loved the Œuf cocotte. Eggs in France are tastier than the ones in the U.S. and this dish was outstanding. It had a piece of ham on top and the sauce and aromatics in it just made for a really tasty dish. 7 of us ordered the filet bœuf for our main dish, while the other three ordered the fish, the paella and the pork chop. The toddlers just ate their parents' food. The filet was cooked rare. I normally eat my steak medium-rare to medium, so a rare steak is not my usual thing. But it was fine. The beef just melts in your mouth and the sauce was very tasty. Some people in our party were not happy though. We all specified medium and were given a rare steak. My husband had the Pork Chop and I have to say that that was the best pork chop I have ever tasted! The meat was so tender and flavorful with the sauce. Delicious! I'll be dreaming of those pork chops for a while! Sadly, we didn't get to eat dessert! We had another wine tasting appointment at 2 pm, so we had to stop after the main course. Our friendly servers understood our time crunch and brought our dishes in a timely manner. Really love the setting of the restaurant. The glass walls on one side give you a great view of the outdoors and just a few meters behind the restaurant, you can see beautiful horses grazing. If you're looking for an idyllic setting to have lunch in the Graves and Pessac-Léognan appellations, consider this place for lunch!

Breakfast each morning was simple but tasty. A great diversity of wines, having both left and right bank style blends as well as delicious rosé of cab and Bordeaux Blanc. A delightful setting in the woods and great food to go along with it. Staff could have been a little more attentive but put in a bunch of effort covering for our lack of French.

This year, the owner added a very nice pool and terrace area, which we found refreshing and relaxing. As the last time, we found the owner Brigit very welcoming, accommodating and charming:) We encourage Americans and Brits to go to this area near Bordeaux and its vineyards, not just for the beauty that can be seen and explored, but for the possibility of staying at Brigit's gite (B & B). By the way, she speaks English as well!

Upon arrival you feel special while driving up to the old estate. The adjacent golf course fairways are dotted with old derelict stone buildings. There's even a partial portion of the original water moat on the 18th fairway. The views are gorgeous. The old house is rather dated and frowzy around the edges. Some peeling wallpaper in the room. The floor base boards are beat up in places. 1950's era plumbing in the bathroom. Pluses are the super king size bed is remarkably comfortable. The linens are luxurious. The room size is generous. The 4 common rooms on the ground floor are large, historic and rather dramatic, like a movie scene. The personnel are all pleasant, competent, and friendly. We dined at the brasserie twice. Meals were acceptable, barely more. Not fine dining. There is another fine dining restaurant that has 1 Michelin star. That menu was was priced above my budget. The hotel charges 23 euros for breakfast, I also did not partake that. Even though I am a rabid golfer at home in California, I play 3 or 4 days per week, I did not play here. I explored the pro shop. The rental golf clubs are rather dated. I am a left handed player, there was just one set of early 2000's vintage Titleist mismatched club set in the bag with a junior length putter. So even if I wanted to play I would be frustrated with the sub-standard rental equipment. I love this rural area of France. Lots of wide open space. Practically no other cars on the winding country roads. Would I stay at Vigiers again? Probably no.

Unfortunately, although there are 27 holes we only played the same 18 both days because of some competition that was going on in the other (most interesting looking) 9 holes. I wouldn't mention it except that it has happened twice now, and at the prices they charge you should get a reduction because you can't choose the 18 you want to play. The hotel was lovely with underfloor heating in the massive bathroom and shower. They have the golf channel (the french one of course) which was great to watch while on our golf holiday. The breakfast we ate was very french (all the pastries, breads, jams, ham, hard-boiled eggs, cheese, fruits, and an espresso machine.) We had a nice dinner in the bar/restaurant near the pro shop. It was interesting and creative, but nothing all that special for a 3-course meal in France. The bar is really big (like a pub) but the drinks were also pretty expensive. The place definitely try's to portray wealth and class, and it does, but you can find excellent food, drink, and golf for a better price in the region.

Found out that breakfast was not included, as it happened, we couldn't wait. €17 per person seems quite excessive. Regarding the iron, fortunately, we had our own. Wrong advice about local restaurants. Told to travel into Bordeaux with a taxi price tag of €30, one way (no mention of the tram). Google helped with a streak house in walking distance. The bar area was unlit and mainly unstaffed. Tried my best with French and also used a translator. Just found it in unfriendly. Bear in mind that the restaurant isn't open at weekends. The public toilets on the ground floor had a terrible smell of urine. So strong, I couldn't use. Used the one for the disabled which was fine. Back to the room and the shower lacked a good pressure. Towels were flimsy. NOTE: These were allegedly executive rooms. Altogether, not good. I won't return.
