Right Bank Grands Crus Experience: Pomerol and St-Émilion (Priced Per Group)
An Elevated Day-Long Journey for Connoisseurs and Collectors
This exclusive, immersive experience elevates your private group’s understanding of Bordeaux’s Right Bank far beyond the typical visitor encounter. Tailored specifically for serious connoisseurs and collectors, this day is designed to expand your palate, sharpen your understanding of terroir, and deepen your appreciation for some of the most sought-after wines in the world.
Your group will travel east from Bordeaux via private driver toward the historic limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion and the prestigious, discreet estates of Pomerol. Accompanied by a dedicated WSET Level 3 Awarded Guide (With Distinction), you will receive undivided attention, insider stories, and collector recommendations while our separate driver handles the road.
Curated Private Visits. Your itinerary includes private, curated visits to estates representing the pinnacle of Right Bank winemaking:
Saint-Émilion: Explore Grands Crus Classés châteaux whose historic cellars and vineyard holdings fully reveal the appellation’s limestone terroir.
Pomerol: Encounter prestigious small estates, whose limited production and extreme scarcity have built a global cult following.
Go behind the scenes into precision-driven vat rooms, barrel cellars, and historic underground spaces. You will learn how elite vignerons balance tradition and innovation, examining the roles of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and the subtle choices in extraction and aging that elevate a wine from merely impressive to truly profound.
Master Tastings & Analytical Insights. Expect a variety of elevated tasting experiences, including blind and vertical tastings across historic vintages, second labels, and rare library bottlings.
During these tastings, we will measure each pour against the systematic criteria used to evaluate world-class wine: Balance, Length, Intensity, Complexity, and Varietal Typicity (BLIC). You will see firsthand how the finest wines of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol achieve greatness through harmony, texture, and an unmistakable sense of place.
The Collector’s Edge. By the final toast, you will have developed a nuanced understanding of vintage selection, aging potential, and stylistic differences between the Right Bank’s celebrated estates. You will leave with expanded horizons, a transformed appreciation for Bordeaux, and a curated list of new priorities identified for your personal cellar.
Pricing shown is per private group of up to four guests; up to two additional guests may be added at €275 each.
Tours include wine tasting at two or more châteaux and may include light nibbles to accompany the wines being tasted. All entry and tasting fees are included. Lunch, however, is not.
Dress consistent with the weather on the day of the tour. We will likely enter the vineyards, so footwear should allow walking in that environment.
Bookings, once completed, are non-refundable.
