Discover the alliance between modernity and tradition during this visit, and enjoy a pleasant lunch break surrounded by the vines thanks to the picnic basket!
You will visit the two wineries of the De Schepper family on the Saint Emilion appellation.
These two properties, both neighbouring, have a completely complementary profile:
- The Château Tour Baladoz, with its authentic and traditional winery of the appellation.
- Château La Croizille, looking to the future with its winery at the cutting edge of modernity.
This experiment will take place as follows:
- Visit the small pedagogical garden where the 6 different grape varieties allowed on the Bordeaux are present: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit verdot, Carménère. Explanations on the specifics of each grape variety and the principle of blending Bordeaux and Saint Emilion.
- Explanations on the notion of terroir through soil extraction.
- Visit the historic winery of the Baladoz Castle Tower. Explanations on the winemaking process.
- Visit the historic barrel cellar of the Baladoz Castle Tower. Explanations on the breeding process.
- Visit the Château La Croizille. Explanations on the differences in the wine-making processes between a traditional castle and a modern castle using the latest technologies (both in terms of blending, winemaking and breeding).
This visit will be followed by a guided tasting of 3 wines in Saint-Emilion Grand Cru: the second wine from Château Tour Baladoz, the first wine from Château Tour Baladoz and the first wine from Château La Croizille.
You will finally enjoy a quiet lunch break with magnificent views of the vineyards. On the menu, a picnic basket made up of local produce and a glass of wine from the property.
