Chateau Laniote has been in the same family for almost two centuries. Arnaud de la Filolie, assisted by his oenologist wife, Florence Ribereau-Gayon has been in charge since 1989. The vineyard spread over 12 acres at the North-West of Saint-Emilion. The tour consists in visiting the cellars: vatcellar, storage room, barrels cellar, watching a little video about vinifications and tasting the wine. Guided tours by appointment.

This place was wonderful, I went there with some friends and we had an amazing time, the visit is guided by the owner itself and he really makes you feel welcomed with some humor since the beggining. You can learn about the whole process of making a bottle of wine (don't hesitate to ask some questions!) and later on you can learn to taste a good wine. Honestly it was really entertaining visit, you will not regret it

We have visited many wineries around the world but this has definitely been the most interesting. AJ is an excellent host and her tour is pleasant, fun and she shares so much detail and knowledge on the steps that are involved in the production of such fine wine. Madame Roskam is truly lucky to have a daughter in law like AJ! The tour will leave a wonderful memory of Saint Emilion.

This is a fantastic wine shop in the centre of St Emillion. Paddy and Pilla are fantastic hosts and have an extremely well picked and rounded selection of wines for sale (and tasting). They give honest, straight forward (and jovial) appraisals of their wines which makes for a really enjoyable experience. It’s great to chat with them through their understanding of the region and their expert knowledge of the production of wine. Paddy took me and my brother In law on a visit to his vineyard which was a once in a lifetime experience! Pilla even had a box of Lego for my son to play with whilst we had a tasting! Congratulations Paddy and Pilla on your success with the Wine Buff which again I cannot recommend highly enough to anyone! Thank you and speak soon, Sláinte, Jack.

Bought in 1844 by our ancestors. It's one of the only 2 winery to be in the heart of the village. We still use the quarries under, to stock the wines. The wine is sold, we bring it back up and Each bottle is clean by hand and the labels are also put by hand. The tour is done by the owner himself GUY-PETRUS LIGNAC or by his son Vincent (in charge of the vineyard and winemaking) The Tour take about 1h, included the winery (tank room and barrel cellar) + the wine cellar underground and a tasting of 2 wines with explanation

We called the Chateau Guadet on a whim while we were in St. Emilion. We didn’t figure that we would be able to taste or visit on such short notice. They accommodated is immediately, allowed our children to play in the garden while we toured and tasted, then held our wine til the Fall so it wouldn’t be shipped during the hot summer months. Our wine arrived to the US in record time, less than 5 days after we gave them the go ahead to ship. They truly understand both producing excellent wine and cultivating wonderful relationships. Whenever COVID allows Americans to return to Europe, we will return to Chateau Guadet! Thankfully we have their exquisite wine to enjoy in the interim!

Along with the production of excellent wine, Bordeaux makes a beautiful “crémant” so lovely place to visit and learn how it’s made and get a sense of the History of the village too. Beautifully restored with sensitivity too. The wine was splendid and the tasting at the end of the visit welcome
