This must-see of Bordeaux wine tourism offers an exceptional range: certified organic Château Cru Classé, grandiose underground cellars, LandArt forest, luxury hotel classified as Palace, vinotherapy spa, 2-star restaurant in the Michelin guide, wine bar, etc. We marvel at every level!
This château exudes the charm of a superb medieval property mixed with the excellence of the great wines of the Pessac-Léognan appellation. We will be surprised by the collections of old cars, winemaking tools as well as the cellar revealing more than a century of vintage.
Château La Louvière, classified as a historic monument, is located in the middle of Crus Classés châteaux: it represents THE Bordeaux château par excellence. It is also the one who launched the crazy adventure of André Lurton, founding father of Pessac-Léognan.
Attention nature lovers! At the edge of the Landes forest, the Saucats geological nature reserve offers a moment of disconnection. We put on our sneakers for a country stroll while unraveling the mysteries of the Graves terroir!
Family estate of Montesquieu, the philosopher winemaker spent half his life here. Retaining its appearance as a medieval fortress surrounded by large moats, the castle, whose rooms remain from the period, is full of fascinating anecdotes.
Notice of Marina from the Montesquieu tourist office:
“We relish the chance to pass through the doors of legendary and accessible castles.
Their dynamism gives some pep!”
