Saint-Émilion: 2 hours - Visit of the vineyard, the cellar and tasting

About this tour

Walk through four generations of Saint-Émilion winemaking at Château Haute-Nauve, guided by the family themselves. Located 3 km southeast of the village, this independent operation broke away from the cooperative in 2009 to bottle their own production. Over two hours, you'll traverse the rows, explore the cellar, and taste four wines that showcase the property's approach.

Highlights

• Family-run estate with four generations of continuity
• Cellar tour showing independent vinification process
• Four wine tastings from the château's range
• Walking tour led by owner or family member

What to expect

Your guide—either Marie-Anne or Florent—walks you through the working vineyard to show how fruit moves from vine to harvest. You'll then descend into the cellar to see fermentation tanks and ageing practices. The final hour focuses on tasting four different wines, each representing the château's character. Expect practical chat about their 2009 transition from cooperative membership, plus straightforward discussion of what makes their approach different.
