Prestige Visit & Tasting in Saint-Émilion: Discover the Destieux & Montlisse Wine Estates

Perched on one of the highest points of Saint-Émilion, Château Destieux enjoys a remarkable location offering sweeping views over the surrounding vineyards, shaped by a distinctive and uncommon terroir. The experience begins outdoors among the vines, where you’ll gain insight into how the land and meticulous vineyard work influence grape quality and define the character of the wines. The visit then continues inside the winery, with guided access to the vat room and barrel cellar, revealing key stages of vinification and ageing.

A barrel tasting of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon provides a rare opportunity to explore the wines during their ageing phase, prior to blending, and to understand the unique traits and structure of each grape variety.

The experience concludes with a refined tasting of 3 wines from the Dauriac family estates, featuring one cuvée from Château Destieux, Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé, and two cuvées from Château Montlisse, Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, which achieved Grand Cru Classé status in 2022. This final tasting offers an elegant perspective on the style, precision, and evolution of these closely linked estates.
