What to expect
In the building of the royal broker Louis XV, discover three centuries of history and prestige of the ‘grands vins de Bordeaux’. The vaulted cellars built in 1720 depict the work of the coopers and the traditional wine aging practices of traders in the nineteenth century. The cellars also illustrate the Bordeaux wine trade with a number of collections that take you beyond the two seas. The spirit of Chartrons and the Bordeaux wine trade are captured with the sophisticated architectural style of the 18th century. Various artifacts and archival documents trace the exceptional careers of the great merchant families as well as the ancestral knowledge of workers in the cellars.
The wine tasting:
At the end of your visit, you can partake in a wine tasting of two wines in the boutique of the museum. Here, you will learn how to differentiate between the grape varieties Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as learn the difference between a Merchant and Chateau wine.

The museum offered great insights on Bordeaux and Chartrons and wine’s impact on both. The wine tasting included detailed explanations of the area and the guide was excellent. Thank you for a great visit!

Very informative museum on Bordeaux wines and its history. Would highly recommend this as a primer to Bordeaux wine and its wine region. Love the tasting in the end too - the highlight to the tour was the Sauternes raisins we got to try together with the wine! One more thing - unlike most places you don’t need to prebook tickets for these in advance. It’s possible to just walk in and start the self guided tour with tasting right after.Let me start by saying I’m not a wine buff but I do like a tipple, we visited today & found the whole experience excellent, you start with a trip through the old cellars where everything is laid out in a simple format (which for me personally is very good) you go through at your own pace.

Let me start by saying I’m not a wine buff but I do like a tipple, we visited today & found the whole experience excellent, you start with a trip through the old cellars where everything is laid out in a simple format (which for me personally is very good) you go through at your own pace. This is followed by an introduction to the wine growing in the area & a couple of tasters. Gregory (the owner) & his staff are very knowledgeable & informative, there are wines for sale but there is no hard selling all in all this was a very enjoyable & informative couple of hours, I would definitely recommend anyone to visit. When we return to the area we will definitely be returning for a second visit.
