South of Bordeaux on the Left Bank of the Gironde, the landscape softens into gentle hills, covered by forests and vineyards, and estates of timeless beauty. For those in search of authenticity, exceptional heritage and an escape from the crowds, this is Bordeaux at its most intimate and unspoiled. The Graves and Sauternes appellations offer one of the most contrasting and captivating wine experiences in the entire Bordeaux region: the freshness and elegance of great dry whites and reds on one hand, and the extraordinary richness of the world's finest sweet wines on the other.

Your journey begins aboard one of our iconic Citroën DS Convertible, gliding south through the Graves vineyards before reaching the legendary slopes of Sauternes. Here, the morning mists rising from the Ciron river create the unique conditions for noble rot, transforming Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc into nectars of exceptional complexity. At the summit of this golden landscape reigns Château d'Yquem, the one and only Premier Grand Cru Supérieur of Bordeaux.

Your private English-speaking chauffeur-guide, wine expert, will introduce you to carefully selected estates, far from the tourist routes, where you are welcomed as a personal guest rather than a passing visitor.
