    Well designed wine museum. The thought process behind everything, the detail, ambience it's mind…read moreblowing. A very well Presented museum all about wine but it does get boring and tiring. Constantly wearing your headphones and going to each section and then listening to what the display is about can get exhausting. My favorite part was the smell test which was a very smart idea. I spent most of my time where vs learning about the history of wine during ancient times. This bored me out. Screens that displayed area where most grapes came from all over the world was very interesting. Different types of grapes on display was fun to look at. The rooftop where you can get a complimentary glass of wine was cool. Open space overlooking the city of Bordeaux, wine with a view was my favorite part. It was good experience but what you pay to get in versus how much you will be interested in what you see, wasn't worth it for me from a price and time point of view.

    This museum is one of the most modern and creative I've ever seen, with the added bonus of being…read moreabout wine! All topics are covered: general history of wine, specific history of wine in Bordeaux, fermentation and bottling processes, grape varieties, modern trends, relationship with religion, and more. I thought the hours and price were reasonable for even a short visit to Bordeaux. You can spend very long here, so you will have to prioritize exhibits. The experience is individualized through your audio headset which is available in many languages. Capturing smells at a museum is difficult, but this museum has perfected their atomizers to help you identify notes in both red and white wine. Bordeaux is not a very tall city (built on swamp land) so the view from the museum allows you to see all. Getting to the museum is easy with the B street tram. A food hall is right next door with a variety of cuisines, and restaurants are available inside Cite du Vin. One of the braille city maps is outside the entrance.

    I am in awe by the audacity of anyone leaving this hotel less than 5 stars. It is amazing and…read moreworth every penny. Let me start with the staff, because they deserve a lot of praise. I believe I emailed the hotel at least two dozen times with various questions about the spa, the restaurant, bike rentals, airport transportation and more, and every time their responses were prompt and helpful, including getting us a table at the restaurant even though their reservation system indicated they were booked. At the hotel, the front desk, bar, and restaurant staff were wonderful - friendly and very helpful. It helps, by the way, if you make even a modicum of effort to speak french - say Bonjour or Bonsoir (good day or good evening), say s'il vous plait (please), and say merci (thank you). In that way, you don't come off like an arrogant tourist. The hotel itself, as you can probably tell from the photos, is beautiful and no expense is spared for your comfort. The rooms are large and welcoming. The beds and very comfortable and the bathrooms and showers are great. We had a beautiful patio overlooking the vineyards. The back of the hotel has outside tables overlooking a beautiful courtyard as well as some lounge chairs to relax in. Pool looked good, but we didn't use it. Location is great. It's about 3-3.5 km from the village using a lesser used road/bike path behind the hotel (as opposed to the main road which might be a bit too dangerous). I would call it an easy bike ride, but its a hilly area and it's a bit strenuous to get there. Much easier on the way back. There are taxis, if biking isn't your thing. Melissa used the spa but unfortunately, I waited too long to reserve a treatment and wasn't able to go myself. But during her spa treatment, I had a nice time at the bar chatting with the bartender about French whiskeys and trying a few myself. Finally, our meal was absolutely superb. Besides a cheese plate (wonderful), some wine (from Saint Emilion, of course, and delicious) and a tray of small appetizers from the kitchen, I got the John Dory confit, which is a meaty white fish. It was excellent. One of my favorite meals in our 9 days in Bordeaux. This hotel spoiled me for all hotels in the future. I don't know why we would ever travel anywhere ever again but to Saint Emilion just to stay at this hotel.

    Chateau is beautiful in a lovely area right between vineyards. Be sure to take the time to walk…read morearound the pond for a lovely photo op. Rooms were cute, beds were comfy. Breakfast buffet was worth the extra cost. A bit disappointed by dinner. I know it's mentioned by Michelin but in our opinion nowhere close. Lovely location but we would not dine here again.
