Pauillac France | Médoc Wine Region & Bordeaux Cruise Guide
Frequently Asked Questions
At Quai Léon-Perrier, right in the middle of the village, on the left bank of the Gironde. The vineyards start at the end of the street: no shuttle is needed for the centre.
Because three of the five first growths in the celebrated 1855 classification lie within its boundaries: Lafite Rothschild, Mouton Rothschild and Latour. The classification was drawn up at Napoleon III's request for the Paris Universal Exhibition.
The excursion along the Route des Châteaux, with a cellar visit and tasting, takes up most of the day. The village itself can be covered in a quiet hour on your return.
Yes. The Maison du tourisme et du vin, on the estuary promenade, offers guided tastings without complicated booking and advises on which estates are open to visitors.
How to swirl the glass and look for the blackcurrant and cedar aromas particular to Médoc cabernets, and why this well-drained gravel produces wines built to age. Cabernet sauvignon leads, merlot supports.
Ship-owners' and former merchants' houses, Saint-Martin church above the rooftops, and lanes running down to the water. Nothing spectacular: it is all about atmosphere.
They are stilted fishing cabins typical of the estuary, holding out their square nets above the current. At falling tide, the water withdraws from mudflats where wading birds forage.
It is the local speciality, raised on the neighbouring meadows and served at the region's best tables. The village food shops offer it alongside other local produce.
It is a fort built under Louis XIV to Vauban's plans, downstream, which sealed the Gironde together with the citadel of Blaye on the opposite bank. The ensemble is UNESCO World Heritage listed as part of the network of Vauban fortifications.
Yes, the station is about fifteen minutes' walk from the quay with regular trains to Bordeaux. It is a substantial round trip, though: on a one-day call, the Médoc offers more.
