Nestled in the heart of Saint-Émilion, the De Schepper family warmly welcomes wine lovers to Château La Croizille and Château Tour Baladoz, two prestigious Grands Crus Classés. While Château Tour Baladoz embodies the charm of tradition with its historic wine cellar, Château La Croizille reflects modern winemaking innovation, particularly showcased in its state-of-the-art cellar completed in 2013. Together, these neighboring estates offer a perfect balance of heritage, craftsmanship, and contemporary elegance.
The vineyards stretch across Saint-Laurent-des-Combes’ rolling hills, offering panoramic views of lush vineyards and the picturesque Saint-Émilion countryside. Here, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon flourish in the region’s rich terroir, creating wines that are both expressive and refined. Sustainability and careful vineyard management are central to the estates’ philosophy: manual harvests, precise grape sorting, and environmentally conscious practices ensure every vintage reflects the unique character of Saint-Émilion.
Visitors are greeted by a multilingual team (French, English, Spanish) and invited to immerse themselves in a variety of experiences. From guided tours of the traditional and modern cellars to themed tastings, interactive workshops, and team-building events, every visit is designed to combine learning with conviviality. The estates’ Terrace Wine Barfurther enhances the experience, offering an extensive selection of Bordeaux wines alongside regional delicacies, all set against the stunning vineyard backdrop.
Château La Croizille and Château Tour Baladoz have also been recognized for excellence in wine tourism, receiving prestigious awards including the International Gold Trophy “Best of Wine Tourism” in 2015. In 2018, the estates unveiled a new reception area, connecting the two properties and providing a modern wine shop, tasting space, and terrace with sweeping views of the vineyards.
Whether you are a wine connoisseur or a traveler seeking authentic Bordeaux experiences, Château La Croizille and Château Tour Baladoz offer more than a tasting – they provide a journey into the heart of Saint-Émilion, where history, innovation, and family passion are poured into every bottle.
