Guided visit of the cellars and comparative tasting of two wines with commentary from the wine making team.

We also propose blending workshops. This is a fun and educational way to learn about each single variety in Bordeaux and to understand the mysteries of blending. Both workshops start with a guided visit of the cellars.

Tasting of 3 grape varieties, a mystery blend and then a vintage of Château La Tour de Bessan with the locally made chocolates, ‘Demoiselle de Margaux’.

Minimum 2 people

Tasting of 3 grape varieties, a mystery blend and then a vintage of Château La Tour de Bessan with local chocolates, ‘Demoiselle de Margaux’. To top off the day, you will make your own blend and leave with a unique half bottle that you have created, corked, and popped the capsule and labels on yourself!

If you already know all about wine making and wish to learn more about tasting, this session is made for you! This workshop proposes wines at their peak for you to discover: Château La Tour de Bessan 2008/Château de Villegeorge 2008.
In a world of perpetual motion and a constant race against time, settle down into a world where we wait for time to make its mark. Come and discover the aromatic complexity of mature wines and their structural subtlety first-hand – a completely different world to that of young wines.

You’re a wine lover and would like to bring out the best in your wines when drinking them. This really fun session will allow you to discover the effect of the glass shape on each wine, often an underestimated facet.
You will be surprised at how different the aromatic expression, flavours and textures of the wines are perceived during this tasting of two wines, one aged and one young, each in two slightly different shaped glasses. This is a fun and very informative tasting exercise. Two first label wines from 2008 and 2015, can be chosen, either the Château de Villegeorge or Château La Tour de Bessan.

The vintages proposed above are not contractual and may differ depending on availability.

Booking: only available with prior reservation. Monday to Sunday (minimum 2 people)
