Mouton Rothschild
"First Classified Great Growth in Pauillac, it is considered to be one of the greatest wines in the world. Its story is the one between a magical encounter between a soil, a climate, and the passion of a man, Baron Philip of Rothschild (1902-1988). He is the initiator of complete bottling in the château. He built the famous Great Cellar in 1926. In 1962, he designed the Private Museum of Wine in Art, which gathers three thousand years of valuable objects dedicated to vine and wine. Some pieces are truly beautiful, coming from nearly every civilization across the ages."

Loudenne
"Château Loudenne is a charming chartreuse of the 17th century, which belonged to one of the oldest families of the French nobility. A magnificent domain of 120 hectares overlooks the wide Gironde estuary, towards which the vineyard goes down on a gentle slope. Points of interest: the Victorians in Médoc exhibit, in period cellars, that the Gilbeys brothers built in 1876. The exhibit relates the history of the vine through daily tools and objects. Stemming from a successful association of ancient art and modern techniques, the château Loudenne wines are exported throughout the world. "
