Médoc

It is in this area that you will find the largest castles, like for example Château Margaux or Lafitte-Rothschild that, in opposition to St Emilion, are owners of over 100 hectares. Here lies the Cabernet-Sauvignon grape's territory, that gives wines structure and strength, but also their storage capacity. When traveling along the wine route north from Bordeaux, you will experience and see all these beautiful castles and their corresponding grapevines, where some of the world's most expensive wines are produced. Most of the castles welcome visitors for wine tastings!
