Chateau Guadet is one of two chateaus located within the town parameters of St Emilion. We were immediately impressed with the elegant & sophisticated presentation of the chateau. A grand door painted in a classic deep blue with a discrete golden sign and doorbell, which then opened to a classically designed entryway and back to an enclosed garden where you enter the tasting room and caves. Vinent took us through the chateau, caves, and back to the tasting room where we tried some of their beautiful wines. Wonderful experience thanks to the hospitality of Vincent and his family. Merci Chateau Guadet!
Bonjour, i am sorry, i don't speak chines, but i would like to thank you for your very nice comments (thanks to Google translation ;-) ), i will be happy to receive you again any time.I wish the best for the new year 2015Vincent
None other has the ideal location as Chateau Guadet - It's in "downtown" of UNESCO heritage site of Saint-Emilion! I was privileged to spend extended time in this charming and hospitable chateau. Catherine is most gracious and her superb culinary skill is unforgettable. Guy-Petrus is aristocratic yet has most down to earth attitude and never shy away from any work needs to be done. As fot next generation's heir, Vincent, who has vineyard is his blood. He's a willing teacher and passionate with his organic philosophy. The Lignac's awareness and deep love for their land are admirable.I was planning a return trip before I even left Chateau Guadet.
Bonjour, thanks a lot, it's always great for dad and I have to have enthusiastic comments like your. We always try to give our best, but i have to say that going down in the quarries, still, it's every day an amazing experience even for me !My best wishes for the new year 2015.vincent
ahhh Vincent, your love of the process of converting some simple fruit into something so pleasurable was wonderful to behold. The almost secret door entry to the cellar added to our thrill of discovering another one of St Emillions vinological highlights. A good drop unfortunately difficult to source in Australia. Recommended.
Bonjour,Well... when i saw your amazing comment's i didn't know what to say apart from a uge THANK YOU! You make us feel so good.Dad and i receive people every day of the year, (new years eve, Christmas, Easter... every day is a Monday...) and we always try to give the best in any tours. Seeing comments like yours make us feel that we are doing the right way.So, thank you again, for you beautiful comments. I wish you great things for the new year 2015.vincent
Vincent was a great host. From his prompt response to my email and the actual tour itself, it was a very pleasent process. We arrived on the day, in a group of 4, and joined another couple in the beautiful garden. Vincent had a chat with us in the lovely garden about his philosophy about wine making, then we visited the celler which dates back to the 15th century. We then did a wine tasting (2 glasses) with Vincent explaining to us the technique. All in all, it was a lovely experience and I highly recommend it. There is (paid) parking right near by. It would be even better if we can take a walk in the vinyard itself, which is very near by, walk distance.
My husband and I went to 4 other chateaus while we were in Saint Emilion and this was by far our favorite. Vincent, the winemaker was our tour guide. He was so friendly, he displayed an American flag in his garden after learning we are from California.His passion for wine making is evident and inspiring.We didn't realize that his chateau was voted #1 on tripadvisor so we were lucky to get a last minute booking. You wouldn't realize that he was #1 either by his humbleness and laid back personality.The best part was sitting down with him after the cave tour to taste the wine. He was very entertaining with his wine analogies. It is good to go to another chateau so you can compare the difference and I think that is what also helped us to appreciate this tour so much.Thanks so much Vincent. It was a lovely time.
Bonjour!thank you for your great comments. I always try too do give my best like for every thing i do. But it's always a pleasure to see that the result are goooood to you.Merci beaucoup!I wish you the best for the new year 2015Hope to see you again at GuadetVincent
We were astonished that the owner Guy Petrus took his valuable time to give our family a very personal and private tour. It was really delightful and the tour itself was a real experience - the cellar alone is worth doing the tour for. The wine is also excellent btw and his passion is evident throughout. Tour lasted 1 hour exactly.
