« Reignac and Its Scent Garden »
You will live an original experience that will stimulate all your senses.
We will discover together our history, our cellar and the wine techniques we apply to make great wines. The unique tasting tower, an ancient pigeon house from the XVI century, as well as the greenhouse designed by Gustave Eiffel will be part of your gourmand journey in the universe of Reignac.
Before we start with the tasting we will go in our scent garden situated just behind our historical greenhouse. It assembles various families of plants offering you either by their aroma, or by their aspect, or by their taste a unique selection of aromas you can find in white and red wines. An original exercise before the wine-tasting!
Our scent garden helps you to train your olfactory memory. You will learn how our senses of smell and taste work, where do the aromas in a wine come from, what are the original aromas of each grape variety, the steps of the wine tasting. The purpose of this wine tour is to discuss, to learn about wine and to exercise your senses. We finish this tour with a wine tasting of three of our wines: the Reignac White, the Château de Reignac and the Grand Vin de Reignac.
This wine tour won the Gold Medal of the International Best Of Wine Tourism Competition in 2016.

“Lovely Grounds & Wine Tasting”
20 November 2014
Chateau de Reignac was the last place we went to on our wine tour. Mona, our hostess was very sweet, passionate, and knowledgable about the chateau and the estate's wines. We had a great tour and enjoyed our tasting in the pigeon house. It's one of the few places where we could visit that had wonderful wines AND a beautiful chateau to see.

“Wonderful Winery Visit - A Hghlight of our Bordeaux Travels”
15 Oktober 2014
We visited Chateau de Reignac as part of a private guided tour of St. Emilion, and were provided a wonderful tour of its vineyards, cellar and grounds by Mona, a lovely and informative guide. The Chateau was gearing up for its harvest and we sampled the grapes from the vines. Chateau de Reignac produces "an unclassified Grand Cru," which means that its wonderful wines scored higher in many recent years than many Grand Cru Classe wines when judged in a blind taste test by a European Grand Jury. The highlight of our tour was a visit to the Pigeon House Tasting room where we sampled Reignac White 2013, Chateau de Reignac 2012 (2nd wine), and Grand Vin de Reignac 2010. These fine wines are surprisingly valued price. We spent two days with a private wine guide visiting seven Chateaus in the Left Bank (Medoc, Haut-Medoc, and Margaux), and around St. Emilion/Entre-Deux-Mers, and our visit to Chateau de Reignac was the highlight of our trip. Don't miss it!
Price of the visit: 25€/person
Duration : 2h
