⭐Haut Medoc Uncovered 🍷Châteaux 🏰 Templars & Star Forts ⭐

Step into the heart of the Haut-Médoc for a journey filled with history, legends, and unforgettable landscapes. We begin in Civrac-en-Médoc, where an ancient Templar church, built on what is said to be a Roman temple, stands beside the charming Auberge du Clocher. From there, we head to the impressive Tour de l’Honneur, a Plantagenet-era fortress, captured beautifully by drone. On the road south, we pass through Pauillac and Arcins, home to the oldest vineyards in the Médoc, said to have been planted for pilgrims on the route to Santiago de Compostela by the Knights Templar. We pause in Margaux, soak in the Allée des Châteaux, and end at the hauntingly beautiful Fort Médoc, a Vauban star fort built for King Louis XIV. Join us for this incredible drive through the vineyards, villages, and vestiges of France’s storied past. Here is some info about Margaux that we couldn't fit into the video...... Château Margaux archaically La Mothe de Margaux, is a wine estate of Bordeaux wine located in Margaux-Cantenac, France, and was one of five wines to achieve Premier cru (first growth) status in the Bordeaux Classification of 1855. As with many of Médoc's châteaux, the early 18th century saw the wine develop from a pale watery drink that faded within only a few years, to the dark, complex liquid that has been stored in cellars ever since, and a transformation was largely due to an estate manager named Berlon, who revolutionised techniques of wine-making by introducing novel ideas such as banning harvesting in the early morning to avoid dew-covered grapes and subsequently dilution, and acknowledged the importance of soil quality in the various terroir found on the estate. In 1771, wine from the estate became the first claret to be sold at Christie's and upon visiting Bordeaux in 1787, Thomas Jefferson made note of Château Margaux as one of the "four vineyards of first quality"
