What To Expect
Place de la Comedie
As soon as you leave Bordeaux, you will discover the green countryside, and the multitude of plots of vines with evocative names. First the parcels of Entre-Deux-Mers between Garonne and Dordogne, then the appellations of Libournais, Pomerol, Lalande de Pomerol, Fronsac, and finally Saint-Émilion and its satellite appellations, Montagne-Saint-Émilion, Saint- Georges Saint-Émilion, Lussac Saint-Émilion, Puisseguin Saint-Émilion. You will enjoy discovering these castles in the middle of the vineyards. You will be charmed by the beauty of this heritage, which since the French Revolution has continued to improve.
Chateau Franc Mayne
We will take you to visit one of the magnificent castles for which the wines of Saint-Emilion are famous. Grape varieties, destemming, cuvaison, fermentation, fining... you will know everything about vinification, the different grape varieties used and the blended wines. You will be able to see that the modernism of today's cellars marries perfectly with ancestral working techniques in order to give birth, each year, to wonderful vintages, always having an assertive temperament. Château Franc-Mayne, by allowing you to visit the limestone plateau from the inside, will give you the keys to understanding the mineral notes of the Grands Crus of Saint-Emilion. This visit will conclude with a tasting of the estate's wines. During this tasting, you will be given valuable advice for aging, for your future purchases of Saint-Émilion wines. The castle is given as an example. The castle visited is subject to change, depending on the availability of the estates.

Very Pleasant Day in Saint-Emilion

5.00My wife and I had a great day touring Saint-Emilion with Hugo (29 August 2024). What was originally booked as a small group tour ended up being a private tour for the day, which just added to the experience. The only downside was that it was a rainy day; but, a rainy day touring Bordeaux is still a great day! We would definitely use Bacchus Tours again... just need to start planning the next visit. We also had a very nice tour of the Medoc with Catherine, the following day, but that's another review...
