The Medocaines are four women who are passionate about their profession, and it shows.

They are 4 winemakers (along with a chef we use regularly as well) who are not only devoted to their craft, but to share their passion with others. They present wine tourism in the Medoc that breathes a note of fresh air to the sometimes starchy atmosphere of the grand chateaux.

The group includes Armelle Falcy-Cruse from Chateau de Taillan, Florence Lafragette from Chateau Loudenne, Marie-Laure Lurton from Chateau La Tour de Bessan, and Martine Cazaneuve from Château Paloumey.

They have successfully forged new inroads for wine tourism in the Medoc, with a wine route full of innovative and inspiring options such as cooking and wine pairing workshop, wine blending workshop, château stays, and harvest workshops.

The blending workshop takes place on a half-day and includes a visit of a property where, from the vineyard to the vatroom, the notion of blending will be the vital lead of the presentation. The following workshop consists in a tasting of separate grape varieties of the Médoc area, tasting of a mystery blend and of the final blend from the four properties.

The harvest workshop includes a morning of harvest, followed by a traditional harvest lunch, and visit to a second property where the you visit the vat room, discover the wine making process, and end with a wine tasting.

I’m really excited to offer these unique experiences to our guests, and look forward to helping guests discover another side of the Medoc.
