Château Croizille — Attraction in Libourne

Let me start by saying marvellous tour and highly recommended.

Location: 9/10 the winery/winyard can be easily located on map and easy to drive to if you are by car.

Staff: 10/10-very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They have keen eye for details, walk you through each and every step of wine making along with history in amazing detail.

Experience: 10/10, it’s a curated experience and you’ll come out learning something new despite you think “i know alot about wine”. There is remarkable difference between visiting an actual vineyard vs visiting something commercial which is just sake of experience. Here, you visit and feel every step of the process, they walk you though every step, from impact of soil, pesticides, climate on the grapes to how all this actually translates to the taste of wine you drink so casually. It’s a very fine combination of art and science..no wonder French people are so attached to it.

They have two state of art process (traditional with all the barrel fermentation & modern with machines) and you can visit both.

The dégustations(wine tasting) is a very fine experience here, you get to taste their flagship grand cru wines to the newly crafted (and none less than the authentic Provence ones) JM Rose.

At the end of tour, you have a shop where you can buy their wines and souvenirs. I ended up buying lot of their Rose (which is a shame because they have finer products in red wine like grand cru and grand cru classic)but « heart wants what it wants »

I loved their collection and highly recommend it to all those who want to have an authentic wine tasting experience and learn a thing or two about how your favourite...

Visited in mid-March and had the winery almost to ourselves other than one tour group of about 8 people. It was a gorgeous day, the sun had finally come out after days of rain and overcast. The winery was so peaceful. Views were gorgeous.

We booked the tour and tasting and got a tour of both Chateau Croizille and Tour Baladoz, the former is more modern in both architecture and winemaking, the latter is more traditional in both. Our guide, Thomas, was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the winery and appreciate Thomas's knowledge and time in answering all our questions. We tasted 3 wines and ended up buying one of them to enjoy during the rest of our Bordeaux trip. The chateau usually has lunch and wine bar on their patio but since we came during off-season travel, everything was closed. Would love to experience the winery during spring/summer/fall....
