During my stay in Bordeaux, I rented a vehicle and drove from the city to the Left Bank region of…read moreBordeaux to explore the vineyards and visit the home of some of the Grand Cru wines I have enjoyed in the past, and Chateau Dauzac was a must visit! Located in the Margaux appellation within the Médoc region, which sits on the left side of the Gironde estuary and Garonne River, its estate and vineyards are predominantly planted with Cabernet Sauvignon grapes growing in gravelly soils. Awarded A Grand Cru Classé according to the 1855 classification, Château Dauzac has revealed the quintessential qualities of an exceptional terroir for many centuries. Booking a private tour and a private tasting with pairings, we arrived and were greeted by our host "Etienne" a fine young gentleman with extreme knowledgeable of the estate's history; the region's history; the wine production process from harvest to the glass; and why Bordeaux produces some of the finest wines in the world. To my surprise we were visiting during the harvest, and Dauzac had already begun the fermentation process, which is something amazing to observe. Huge, sealed vats of grapes with bubbles rising to the top viewable through slender window along the side. Following a tour of the various stages of wine production, the laboratory, and the barrel room, we were taken to a quiet dining lounge to participate in a guided tasting and food pairing. Charcuterie: Ossau Irraty (Ewe Cheese). Morbier (Cow Cheese with Ashes in the Middle). Comte (Very Floral Cow Cheese). Jambon De Bayonne 12 Mois (Ham of Black Pork from the Mountains Aged 12 Months). Gratont medocain (Pate of Pork from the Medoc). Grenier Modocain (Sausage of the Belly of Pork with Black Pepper and Sea Salt). Wine: (Grand Cru Bronze, Silver and Gold vintages). · Haut Medoc De Dauzac, Haut Medoc 2021 · Aurore De Dauzac, Margaux 2021 · Chateau Dauzac Margaux, Margaux 2020 After a brief explanation of the wines being sampled, Etienne retired to his office, leaving us alone to savor the wine and enjoy our exquisite lunch while chatting about our experience. Occasionally returning to see if all was well, and to pour more of their delicious nectar. The visit lasted just over two hours, and before our departure I ordered several bottles for delivery later this year when the temperatures are milder in California and delivery will not compromise the wine. Highly recommend a visit to this impressive Chateau for the experience of a lifetime.

Beautiful winery! We took a day trip to the Medoc region from Bourdeaux and Chateau Dauzac was one…read moreof the stops along the way. Our tour guide spoke English and French with ease and translated between them for our tour to accommodate all parties. The estate was beautiful - they were even filming a TV show while we were there! After taking a tour of chateau, we enjoyed a brief tasting which we tried 3 different wines. The wine was very delicious, but was not the best place we tried that day. Minus one star because the pours were very small - something that appeared to be a theme at all the places we visited in Medoc. Overall, I would recommend if you are in the area. It is a beautiful, low-key winery.

Love this winery. Glad we came here to do some tastings and get some wine to purchase. Because we…read moreare here in the off season many of the wineries are closed and not offering tastings. The Right Bank St Emilion and Pomerol were completely shut down. It was cold and rainy so we understand. Came to the Left Bank of the Médoc and came to Siran Margaux. Super friendly workers here that did a tasting for us and a bunch of other people that were here to. Loved their Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot Blend I ended up buying a bottle to take home. Would have bought more if I had room in my suitcase. Recommend this winery especially in the off season!

A very calm and relaxed environment with a nice breeze. Jennifer told us the history of the chateau and walked us to the vineyards around the property. We then took a tour of the various rooms and got a very thorough explanation of everything relates to the making of wine. After everything we had a nice tasting of two wines. Being an amateur wine drinker I appreciated the presentation and information. The gift shop had a number of vintages available making it very easy to make a few purchases- including the 2010 vintage. Oh, and they deliver! Plan on passing by here.

This place was FANTASTIC!…read more First, they were very kind to the English-speaking only members of our group, so big plus if you are looking for a place to go and you don't speak French. Second, the grounds were absolutely lovely, and the history of the castle and wine shop was so interesting! Third, the tour was great. It was thorough, but not too long (like many other places in Bordeaux that tend to have their tours a little long). Fourth, the tasting was good! Not stingy and you got to try a variety of wines. Fifth, and finally, I thoroughly enjoyed each wine. The quality was great, and the price point is incredible for the level of quality of the wines. Bottom Line: GO HERE!
