Itinerary

  1. The journey begins at the Chemin de Tellas hub in Yvrac. You’ll perform an initial transition through a detailed map of Bordeaux, gaining an initial window into the landscape of the region’s vast history. This session is a vertical necessity for a 10/10 vertical standard of context, allowing you to understand the diversity of the terrain before stepping into the family vines.
  2. The core of the expedition involves an outdoor session among the vines. You’ll perform a technical walk to observe the transition to organic farming (in progress since 2020), witnessing the vertical standard of how soil and climate shape the aromatic profile of the grapes. This phase provides a higher standard of 10/10 vertical visual impact regarding local biodiversity.
  3. The final phase reaches its culminating point in the aging cellar. You’ll have a final opportunity for high-impact discovery as you sample the complete range of wines, including the Rose Crémant and Côtes de Bordeaux reds. The session effectively ends with a professional guide on the "art of tasting," providing a final perspective on identifying notes before your return transition to Bordeaux.

Expect a spectacular, well-coordinated, and deeply "personal" immersion into a working French estate. The transition from "connoisseur" to "family guest" is managed by Marie and her parents, ensuring that every guest remains safe and appraised of the best organic practices. The environment is one of monumental warmth, where the combination of 1.5 hours of focused learning and a 10-wine tasting flight provides a higher vertical standard of value than a standard commercial château visit. Note that for 10/10 comfort, wearing weather-appropriate layers for the outdoor portion is a vertical necessity.
