Travellers' review - Château du Taillan

  • A wonderful day exploring the Médoc

    A wonderful day, visiting three châteaux: Le Taillant, Baudan, and Desmirail. We received a warm welcome; special mention goes to the tour of Le Taillant, led by a truly passionate guide. Thank you for the blind tasting at Château Baudan. We enjoyed a delicious meal at Le Marquis de Terme. We regretted not having enough time in the morning between the two châteaux.

  • A really beautiful day

    A wonderful day—three different châteaux: Taillant, Dauzac, and Desmirail—with a warm welcome and very informative tours. Special mention for the tour of Taillant, led by someone who is truly passionate about their work. An excellent wine tasting and a high-quality restaurant at Le Marquis de Terme. Thank you.

  • Good organization

    Everything went perfectly, the service providers are used to vinotrip customers and we were very well received. Visits to château champion, camarsac and le Taillan were very interesting, with professionals who knew how to share their knowledge. Excellent restaurants at marquis de terme and château pey la tour, and a very good overnight stay at château sequin. In short, a great gift to give yourself.

  • A perfectly orchestrated wine escapade

    Booking with Vinotrip was very easy, and the organization was impeccable throughout. The road book is particularly well designed: all the essential information is included (addresses, châteaux contact details, descriptions of activities), so you can let yourself be guided with complete peace of mind. The selection of estates is of the highest quality, with some excellent discoveries such as Château Le Bouscaut, Château de Camarsac, Château Le Taillan and Château La Croizille. Each visit was an enriching experience, thanks to our passionate guides, whom we thank for sharing their knowledge with us. As far as accommodation was concerned, we stayed at Château Seguin, a magnificent place offering a spacious and very comfortable room. The only small point for improvement was the breakfast, which was slightly below standard. In terms of catering, everything was just right. Saturday evening's dinner at Titut was a pleasant surprise, both for the quality of the dishes and the warm welcome from the team. Sunday's lunch at Château Au Marquis de Terme in Margaux offered a top-of-the-range gastronomic experience, perfect to round off the weekend. In short, a successful stay from start to finish: seamless organization, top-quality services, magnificent discoveries and a great deal of pleasure for both the eyes and the taste buds. An experience I can wholeheartedly recommend!

  • VINOTRIP Stay

    Very good stay, pleasant memories. Visits and tastings at Chateaux Taillan, Camarsac (with assamblage workshop), Seguin, La Croizille, great. Chambre d'Hote Chateau de Seguin, good. Restaurant Le Savoie, no reservations, average welcome. Restaurant Chez Titut, good welcome and good food (recommend). A small problem was the distance between Le Savoie and Chateau de Camarsac in the early afternoon with the traffic on the Bordeaux bypass (to be reviewed). Thanks to the VINOTRIP team for the organization.

  • Excellent visit

    Discovery of 3 châteaux Le Taillant / Baudan/ Desmiraille. 3 complementary visits. Warm and friendly welcome. Beautiful discovery, transmission of their passion, their know-how, and the history of their châteaux and the families who prosper their name. Thank you for the blind wine tasting at Château Baudan, a wonderful discovery. Well-organized, with one small downside: we regretted the lack of time between Château le Taillant and Baudan to visit and tour the historic Château le Taillant. Perhaps 1 château in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. Lunch at Le Savoie was perfect, a top-quality gourmet restaurant. We had a great time in the sunshine.

  • Excellent visit

    Excellent visit to the 3 châteaux ( Le Taillan , Baudan et Desmirail ) with very good organization (very good lunch at the Marquis de Terme restaurant ) . Very interesting guides, with a special mention for Chateau Desmirail, which took its time: we learned a lot ...

    Pierre G.

  • Very well organized

    Our stay was very pleasant.

  • Top day!

    Thank you Vinotrip for a superb day discovering the Médoc. Three complementary visits to different estates where we were very well received. Our guides gave us excellent explanations of the work they have done or are doing in their vineyards. Special mention for the blind tasting at Château Baudan. Superb underground cellars at Château du Taillan. And a fine discovery of a Margaux grand cru classé at Château Desmirail. We also had a particularly good lunch at Le Savoie restaurant.

  • LE TAILLAN/BAUDAN/DESMIRAIL/MARQUIS DE TERME

    A beautiful day. The first tasting at around 10am was accompanied by walnuts; a small piece of bread for the others would have been welcome. The 3 visits complemented each other, and I particularly enjoyed the visit to Chateau Baudan by one of the owners, a winemaker, as well as the blind tasting presented in the form of a game. The restaurant was very good, despite the lack of choice on the menu. Would recommend.

    Guilaine B.

  • CHÂTEAUX DU TAILLAN/BAUDAN/DESMIRAIL

    Thank you for these superb visits to castles and buildings steeped in history, for these very interesting explanations (well done to you, ladies, guides of the day), for these delicious tastings and these good times of conviviality. Lunch at the Marquis de Terme restaurant was delicious. The service was impeccable and the setting magnificent. It was a great day out and I'd definitely recommend it.

    Bruno C.

  • Very pleasant day

    The visits to the 3 châteaux were very interesting, led by real professionals (and yes, all women). Just 2 points: the timing was a little tight between Château du Taillan and Château Bedan, and the waitress and head waiter at the Marquis de Terme restaurant weren't very pleasant.

    Claire C.

  • Very pleasant stay on August 30 and 31

    Very warm welcome from the speakers+++ from the Châteaux du Taillan and Suduiraut. Their knowledge and pedagogy enabled us to make a wonderful discovery of wine and viticulture, and we had a great time. The restaurants Le Savoie and Chez Titu were top-notch, as was the accommodation at Château de Seguin.

    Serge Z.

  • Le Taillan/Baudan/Desmirail/Marquis de Terme

    A great time of sharing, conviviality, educational without excess and interactive. With an infectious good mood. The Marquis de Terme restaurant, a fine place to dine, but poor reception and service.

    Christian C.

  • Very nice stay

    Well-organized stay with Vinotrip. The visits and tastings at Châteaux du Taillan, La Croizille and Seguin were great. We enjoyed the assembly workshop at Château de Camarsac. The restaurants we booked were top-notch (Le Savoie in Margaux and Chez Titut in Créon). We stayed in a B&B at Château Seguin. The room was great, nothing to complain about. The downside was that the breakfast was not up to the standard you'd expect from a bed and breakfast, especially given the location.

    Marion V.

  • VERY PLEASANT STAY!

    Our stay began with a visit to the Château du Taillan, followed by a wonderful tasting of 5 different wines. The guide, Ludivine, was very friendly and knew all the anecdotes about the place inside out. We had lunch at the Savoie restaurant in Margaux. The food was excellent. For the remainder of our stay, we had a second visit to Château du Payre, where we also slept. Interesting visit, a few approximations and a 1h30 wait before starting the tour. The owner was very friendly, but probably too busy with this activity. All this in no way detracted from the quality of the room and the excellent table d'hôtes dinner! The next day we had a third and final visit to Château de la Croizille, where we enjoyed an incredible tour and tasting led by Laura, a very knowledgeable guide despite her young age! We literally drank in her words. I highly recommend Vinotrip!

  • Visit to Saint Ahon castle

    We started with a visit to the Château du Taillan. Super interesting: warm welcome, tour and pleasant hostess. We finished with Château Desmirail. This really is a must. An enthusiastic, charismatic guide and magnificent surroundings.

  • A very pretty interlude

    First of all, a big thank you and bravo to the organization and responsiveness of the Vinotrip team. The Berard hotel is original, nestled in the middle of a village spread over several buildings. The room we had in the same building as the spa was really very nice, the spa is very pleasant, but we didn't have time to enjoy any treatments. The service in the restaurant was very, very good. We had a 3-course menu, + appetizers and coffee mignardises. The quality was good, with just one dish we didn't like as much. The breakfast was decent, without being exceptional for me. As far as the visits are concerned, I give a 5/5 to Domaine Lou Capelan, where the owner himself, who is passionate about his work, welcomed us to tell us about his history and the subtleties of how his wines are made. It was very interesting, and we learned a lot. His equally friendly wife takes care of the tastings. At Domaine Bunan, it's different: we're given a flyer detailing the different stages of winemaking, and it's an open house. The gentleman who gave us the tasting was very friendly, but it's true that this doesn't replace the welcome and explanations given by the owner of the other estate. It was a lovely interlude! We made the most of the moment...

  • September 4 and 5, 2021

    4 estates, 4 different visits We started with Château de Ferrand: a blending workshop and a fine tasting, with a guide who was a little full of himself! The visit to the next estate, Château Tour St Christophe, was fairly quick, with a guide who had some difficulty speaking French, but was nevertheless friendly. The 3rd visit to Château du Payre, with dinner and overnight stay, lived up to our expectations, with good wines and a warm welcome (family-run estate). Our last visit to Château du Taillan was by far the richest and most instructive: our guide loves his job and shares it fully. A small downside for Sunday lunch: Brasserie du Golf (good welcome and good food) instead of Restaurant Le Savoie in Margaux (gastronomic with a very fine menu).

  • trip to the Médoc

    Nice day, and I'll put a note on it. At Château du Taillan, tasting wines at 10:30 a.m. without accompaniment is not very professional. The visit to the cooperage was magnificent and extraordinary, with someone on hand to give us detailed explanations. The meal was correct. The visit to the grounds of the Château de St-Ahon is pleasant, but more suitable for children. The store offers a variety of products at reasonable prices. A very pleasant day.

    Pépito O.

  • DAY IN THE MEDOC

    It was a lovely day, but I'd like to qualify it on one point. At Château du Taillan, wine tasting at 10:30 a.m. with no accompaniment, cakes or anything else, isn't great. The visit to the cooperage was extraordinary, with a guide who listened to us and gave detailed explanations. The meal was good, but nothing more. The visit to the park of the Château de ST AHON is pleasant, but more suitable for a couple with children, as it's very playful. The boutique offers a variety of products at very reasonable prices. All in all, a pleasant day.

    Christian P.

  • 3 visits to the Médoc

    Very interesting visit to Château du Taillant and the cooperage. Fine lunch. On the other hand, the afternoon visit to the gardens of Château de St-Ahon is of little interest to adults and would be better suited to families with school-age children.

    Gilles C.

  • birthday gift

    two very enjoyable days, especially at Château du Taillan and Château de Camarsac. We learned a great deal from the competent and friendly guides. The assembly workshop was a great success

    Yves C.

  • 3visits to the Médoc

    Perfect morning, very nice visit and explanations at Château de Taillan. Extremely interesting barrel-making at the Nadalié cooperage, followed by a high-quality meal. However, the afternoon visit to the grounds of Château Saint-Ahon was of little interest. What's more, the wine tasting was very brief. This third visit should be cancelled, as it would cost us one star.

    Brigitte G.

  • Patrice S.

    Instructive tour of the Château de St Ahon, including a tasting session. Côté Jardin: ordinary cuisine. Melle Margaux chocolate factory: we were a little disappointed because we thought we would have seen how the chocolates were made. Château du Taillan very good report on wine making, very interesting with tasting. . Château Giscours guest room impeccable and very good breakfast. We were very well looked after throughout the tour, although the time between each activity was a little short. I recommend this stay for wine and chocolate lovers.

    Patrice S.

  • a special day in the Médoc

    A very rewarding day in the Médoc. We particularly enjoyed the visit and tasting at Château Taillan, with a very good guide. The cooperage was a real eye-opener. Good lunch - refined dishes However, the afternoon at Château Saint-Ahon was pointless and detracted from the quality of the product.

    Valérie M.

  • 3 Visits to the Médoc

    Le Château du Taillan: Very good, very warm welcome and very well commented visit, interesting tasting. La Tonnellerie: Very interesting and well commented visit. Very good lunch. Château St Ahon: We thought we were visiting a vineyard, but it was just the gardens of the château. After handing in the quiz, we tasted the estate wine, which was very good. Chambre d'hôte. Very warm welcome, very comfortable room, quiet, very copious breakfast. Mr and Mrs Jeantet are charming people. I recommend this bed and breakfast.

    Bernard H.

  • beautiful discoveries

    Château du Taillan: very good. Good welcome, nice guided tour, interesting tasting. Cooperage: very, very interesting, even impressive guided tour! Very warm welcome. Perfect lunch. However, the visit to Château St Ahon was very disappointing. You are given a quiz at the entrance, followed by a treasure hunt. The tasting at the end of the game was very succinct... after the copies were handed in!

    Perfect morning, very nice visit and explanations at Château de Taillan. Extremely interesting barrel-making at the Nadalié cooperage, followed by a high-quality meal. However, the afternoon visit to the grounds of Château Saint-Ahon was of little interest.

  • Discover the Médoc

    Hello A great day out for our group, where friendliness, conviviality and tasting rhymed with information. We really enjoyed the visit to the cooperage, which was very instructive. Château du Taillan has a magnificent cellar and the 2 people doing the tastings at the châteaux love their job and shared it with us. On the other hand, we didn't enjoy the tour of Chateau Saint Ahon. The park didn't give us a good impression. As for the '1902' restaurant, there's absolutely nothing to say! Very pleasant setting, warm, smiling welcome, beautifully presented and well-cooked dishes .... In short, we thoroughly enjoyed the '1902'.

  • History of the Château

    Dating back to the 18th century, Château du Taillan was acquired in 1896 by Henri Cruse and has been passed down through the generations to the five sisters who run the estate today.
    With its elegant classical style, it is one of the most beautiful estates in the Gironde, featuring unique underground cellars listed as French Historic Monuments.

  • Wine Experiences at the Estate

    The Cruse family has embraced wine tourism by offering tours of the vat room and the old vintages cellar, as well as tastings and various workshops at the estate.
    Come and discover the setting of the property, its typical 18th-century château, the historic vaulted cellars dating back to the 16th century, and of course the winemaking process behind the estate’s wines.
    During the tasting, visitors have the opportunity to discover three different wine styles: red, white and rosé.
