Itinerary

A short transfer, never far from the estuary, brings you to the impressive gates of Chateau Dauzac, with its 120 hectares of parkland. An ancient wine property, the oldest known owner in this sector of Margaux was Pétrus d’Auzac. He received the land from Richard I, “Richard the Lionheart”, King of England, at at time when this area was under English rule… in 1190! From here, head inland, passing the 3rd Grand Cru Classé Chateau de Giscours. In 1552, the wealthy draper, Pierre de Lhomme bought a small piece of vineyard land here, and then started expanding it by planting the surrounding wild land with vines. Arrive in Arsac, with its small village boulangerie and a couple of restaurants where you may decide to lunch, before passing by the back of Chateau de Tertre as you leave town on tiny roads. As you approach the town of Margaux, renowned names roll out in the famous dirt below your feet: Chateau Kirwan, Chateau Issan (making wine since the 12th century), Chateau Palmer… Another Grand Cru Classé tasting awaits at the end of your afternoon today.
