Rendez vous au Chateau

I do private wine tours since 2007, off the beaten tracks and also for the most pretigious chateaux (grands crus classés also called classified growths). I am a former winemaker 20 years experienced in the Bordeaux right bank, certified WSET level 3

Born in the family owning a vineyard (Bordeaux right bank, AOC Castillon), I studied viticulture and oenology (graduated plus 2) and worked 20 years in the wine production for various chateaux there, plus some experiences as a wine broker, as a sommelier and for a wine merchant.

Right Bank with Frederick

We had a fabulous tour yesterday with Frédéric in and around Bordeaux’s Right Bank. Having been born and raised there, he knows the region in a way no guidebook possibly could. He navigated tiny back roads through endless vineyards and introduced us to small, centuries-old Grand Cru estates such as Château Laniote that we never would have discovered on our own. What makes Frédéric special is that he doesn’t simply drive you from winery to winery — he teaches. He asks thoughtful questions, increases your wine IQ, and shares the history, traditions, personalities, and nuances of Bordeaux in a way that makes the region come alive. More importantly, he introduces you to people, places, and experiences that would be nearly impossible to find independently. By the end of the day, you don’t feel like you’ve taken a tour — you feel like you’ve been welcomed into Bordeaux itself. 🍷

Thanks a lot !
