Travellers' review - Château Desmirail

  • 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 ...

  • 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.

  • 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 good weekend

    All in all, a very pleasant experience. The only downside was Château Desmirail, where the young guide was not very efficient and the welcome was rather distant. The rest is wonderful: Gare Gourmande: TOP, Château de Camarsac: TOP.

  • Excellent stay

    The Château Desmirail manager was perfect, but so were the two young ladies who looked after the other 2 châteaux: their explanations were clear. Really perfect. Thank you, we'll be back.

  • Very pleasant stay and warm welcome

    From the very first phone call, I was very pleasantly advised. Our stay took place at the end of October, and we were lucky enough to be able to discover the area on our own. We started at Château Desmirail, where we visited the winery and received a great explanation of all the stages involved in vinification and maturation, then had the pleasure of tasting the estate's wines. We then ate in Margaux, where the meal was very good and the welcome just as good. We then headed for Château de la Tour de Bessan, where we discovered a modern estate. The person who gave us the tour then taught us how to taste a wine and, above all, we were made aware of blending, a wonderful discovery. In the evening, we dined and slept at Clos du Prince, a wonderful place with a warm welcome. Finally, the next day, we discovered the Château de Camarsac, where we were again warmly welcomed. The person in charge showed us around the vineyard and the work in the vines, and then we had a historical tour of the château with all its twists and turns. These 2 days were marvelous, rich in discoveries, the meals were all excellent, and above all we were received like "princes" everywhere. However, as we didn't have a GPS, it was difficult to find Château la Tour de Bessan and Clos du Prince. Either a better road sign, or an indication in the travel documents would be a plus. Thank you for the wonderful stay you planned for us.

  • Château Desmirail wines

    The characteristics of the wines are explained by a unique microclimate between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gironde Estuary, and an exceptional terroir: gravel carried by watercourses that have the property of accumulating the heat of the sun, releasing it through radiation, and ensuring regulation of the water system. The property covers an area of 40 hectares of vineyards.

    The grape varieties consist of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot.

    The grapes are handpicked and vinified separately to allow the diversity of grape varieties and terroirs to express themselves. Barrel aging lasts for about one year, with the percentage of new barrels never being less than 30%.
