Grand Cru Wine in Bordeaux, Aquitaine

Grand Cru Wine Self-Catering

Nestled inside its very own vineyard, this luxurious château will be a favourite for wine-lovers and francophiles alike. The regal honey-coloured exterior, with its purple adornment of wisteria, dazzles immediately as you enter the grounds. Inside, the home has been lovingly restored and the rooms are light and spacious. Modern touches and elegant furnishings blend with classical remnants. We especially love the claw foot bath, which will make for a dramatic soak. However, the standout feature of this home is its idyllic surroundings. Watch from your window the workings of the organic, bio-dynamic vineyard and sample the well-known Saint-Émilion Grand Cru. This Chateau provides a perfect base to explore this captivating region. Saint-Émilion is situated just three kilometres away with its golden-cobbled streets providing a delightful maze to get lost in. If you’re craving the hustle and bustle of a more well-renowned city, Bordeaux can be reached via the coast in a little over an hour.

Home truths:
*As the château is surrounded by a working vineyard, the site isn’t entirely private - workers can be spotted during the Autumn harvest season
*Most of the bedrooms are open plan in style, which means there’s less of a divide between the bed and the bathroom
*Only the first-floor bedrooms enjoy air-conditioning, but with such a light and spacious downstairs, this shouldn’t be a problem
*There’s no TV; but there’s ample opportunity for entertainment with French billiards and karaoke
