    CHATEAU DE MONBAZILLAC Chateau de Monbazillac…read more24240 Monbazillac http://www.chateau-monbazillac.com 05 53 61 52 52 and 05 53 63 65 00 An afternoon visit to the Chateau de Monbazillac was the highlight today. We arrived at the home of the famous sweet wine after a 70 km trip. Built around 1550, the chateau stands today almost exactly as when built by the AYDIE family more than four centuries ago. This was a very interesting visit indeed, highlights including the Grand Salon, the Mouney-Sully Hall, the Grand Staircase and the Hall of Bottles. The world renowned vineyard was first cultivated in the 11th century and is famous for using the noble rot method to make its sweet wines which draw thousands of visitors every year. We availed of the tasting service, naturally, and purchased some of the golden nectar along with some Bergerac Rouge and Bergerac Sec. In entering this place, you are entering a part of the History of France. So says one of the chateau's leaflets. Today, the Wine Cooperative of Monbazillac owns the chateau and makes every effort to look after the monument and open it as much as possible to visitors. For EUR6.40, we thought it was very good value indeed.

We visited on a day that it rained followed by sunshine and were delightfully greeted with double rainbows arching over the vineyards and behind the Chateau creating postcard perfect memories. Le Chateau boasts twenty furnished rooms with unique and original architecture. Make sure to go down the stairs to the wine cellars and read some of the historical documents. When we visited, the top floor dining room was hosting a very odd art show of trash and garbage. We weren't sure what the meaning was, however, we decided to think about it as a nod to the importance of recycling. The view from the northern terrace offers extraordinary landscapes over the Bergerac valley and the Dordogne river. The white wine was too sweet for our California palate, but would be delicious over ice cream as a dessert!

A noter des expositions temporaires régulières cosacrées aux designers contemporains très intéressantes et le Café des Arts Décoratifs, à même la cour, cela fait un peu bizare mais c'est un cadre très apaisant en Centre Ville. A recommander pour petits et grands !

D'importantes collections de faïences françaises du XVIIIème siècle, de Delft, de verrerie européenne et de mobilier parisien Louis XV et Louis XVI estampillés sont présentées au 1er étage. Le 2ème étage présente le XIXème siècle à travers les oeuvres des manufactures de Johnston et Vieillard, le mobilier des frères Bonie mais aussi des pièces d'Art Nouveau. Les années 20-30 sont abordées avec les céramiques de René Buthaud, les oeuvres graphiques de Dupas et Delorme, ainsi que le travail de l'ébéniste bordelais Triboy. L'intérieur de l'hôtel particulier évoque ainsi principalement une riche demeure aristocratique du Bordeaux des Lumières. Mais pas seulement, c'est également un lieu tourné vers l'époque contemporaine, avec une collection "design" constituée de plus de 200 pièces à compter des années 50 et d'une programmation dense pour favoriser sa diffusion et sa culture : expositions, événements et rencontres sont organisés durant toute l'année.

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.
