About the Tour

More Information
From a climate that has both humid mist and bright sunshine on the same day, to promoting bacterial growth, multiple harvests that involve berry by berry selection, single barrel fermentation and maturation and using only natural yeasts. Wine-making in Sauterne is fascinating and the wine tasting unforgettable.
This all-day tour takes you to the southernmost area of Bordeaux. We visit one grand cru classé château in in the morning and one in the afternoon, after a set-menu lunch in the village Sauternes.
