This chateau is situated near Langon and produce’s Grave wines; the Grave region stretches along the left bank of the Garonne from Bordeaux to Langon. Jean-Francois and his sister Isabelle are the fifth generation of the Villemeur family to make wine in their vineyard. Chateau Guillemins has been entitled to the Graves Appellation since 1893, the Graves wine takes its name from the gravel nature of the soil and the geographical location.
Jean-Francois and Isabelle both speak English and can take you on a very interesting and informative tour explaining the art of wine making, which culminates in a very generous tasting. They produce red wine aged in oak and in inox vats, dry white and sweet white wines.
This Chateau is within walking distance from us and is virtually at the end of the road, which passes our property. The Chateau La Peyrere was built in 1752 and wine has been produced on the property since the 16th century. They produce red Bordeaux Superieur and Bordeaux aged in oak, dry white and sweet white all Appellations d`Origine control.
Wine tasting and tour of the chai’s for both these
chateaux is by appointment only and can be arranged by us. Local Golf Courses
