Amantes privados del vino - Super St Emilion: entre bastidores, visitan los mejores castillos y la ciudad medieval
Descripción
St Emilion se llama la 'ladera de un castillo de 1000' y obtendrá una gran visión de las famosas propiedades clasificadas y sus vinos contrastados con los productores más pequeños aquí. A pesar de los nombres famosos aquí (como Chanel y Louis Vuitton), este lugar atmosférico todavía está dominado por pequeños lugares administrados por familias (estos los llamo los SIP - Pequeños Productores Independientes). Visitaremos 2 castillos de terruños y estilos contrastantes, incluido un Grand Cru Classé (uno de los mejores de la zona) donde conocerá al propietario y al enólogo. Soy un infiltrado aquí. Mi compañero hace vino Grand Cru aquí. Me encantará compartir con ustedes los sitios clave y los chismes! Tendremos tiempo para visitar el pintoresco pueblo de St Emilion fundado en el siglo IX. Visitaremos la pequeña denominación vecina de Pomerol, donde se encuentra el emblemático Petrus. Mucho que ver, saborear y mucha gente apasionada para conocer en mi ciudad natal!
Opciones de la excursión
Itinerario
Los días son normalmente de 9 a 6.30 pm con recogida y devolución en su hotel o barco dentro de la ciudad de Burdeos. Me gusta visitar tres propiedades por día de una variedad de estilos para mostrarle algunos de los diferentes aspectos involucrados en la viticultura y la vinificación de Burdeos. La mayoría de mis propiedades favoritas siguen siendo de propiedad familiar, la mayoría están clasificadas y todas producen un gran vino. Me gusta incluir, si es posible, un productor independiente más pequeño (SIP) donde podamos encontrarnos con el enólogo para ver el 'otro lado' (hay 7000 propiedades en Burdeos y solo alrededor de 200 de ellas pertenecen al grupo de élite llamado Grand Cru Classé) . St Emilion (margen derecha) es una hermosa región vinícola con sus viñedos plantados en colinas alrededor de su pueblo medieval. Las propiedades son más pequeñas aquí y muchas aún son de propiedad familiar. Es conocido como 'la colina de los mil castillos' y es importante visitar algunos estilos contrastantes de la propiedad clasificada donde vamos debajo de las vides en cuevas de piedra caliza y otra, que ha sido 'orgánica para siempre' y está dirigida por el 14 generación de la misma familia hoy con quien nos encontraríamos. Tendremos tiempo para visitar la fascinante ciudad medieval y sus calles empedradas y pasar por Pomerol, donde se encuentran los vinos más caros de Burdeos, incluido Petrus. Organizaré su itinerario individual. Veinticinco años como profesional del vino en la región me permite abrir puertas y ofrecerle una vista única y auténtica de Burdeos. Será una experiencia divertida e informativa que nunca olvidará y muy diferente a los otros tours de vino de Burdeos disponibles. También tenga en cuenta que lo que cobro es todo incluido (organización y asesoramiento a medida, seguro de terceros, acompañado en el día por un experto guía de vinos, recogida y devolución desde el centro de Burdeos, transporte, visita a los castillos y tarifas de degustación) excepto comidas Por favor avise si tiene usted mismo algún favorito de Burdeos o áreas de especial interés

We enjoyed our day with our guide Aurelian in the St. Emilion area. Nicole got information from us in advance about our wine experience and was able to choose wineries that were representative of St. Emilion and each distinct from the others. We learned a lot and had some lovely wines. All tastings/tours were private and included. We paid for our and the guide’s lunch - which was one of our best meals in France and not expensive. The vehicle was comfortable and we were picked up/dropped off right from our accommodation. 800 euro is a lot for two people for a day but the overall experience is so personal it cannot be compared to other tours.
We had a wonderful experience with Nicolle and her team. We had 4 days of private wine tours planned, leaving from our Airbnb in Bordeaux, visiting some wonderful Chateau in Sauternes, Right Bank, and Left Bank. Of note, our group of two couples also had a 2-year-old with us, but we still managed to visit 3 wineries each day. Nicolle was extremely knowledgeable about not just the wines, but the history of the region, the Chateau's, and was an amazing host. Emmanuel, who also led some of our tours, was very personable, warm, and seemed to know many of the employees, workers, and even grape pickers at the Chateau we visited. We learned a ton, felt like we left with a great understanding of Bordeaux wines and their different Terroir, and had a great time. Nicolle and her team were flexible and accommodating, especially when we had a long travel delay due to a canceled flight.
We had a very enjoyable day. Nicolle was able to pick us up early and planned a nicely balanced day of touring the town of St. Emilion and visiting two very different wineries. With her intimate knowledge of the town and the wine industry she was able to provide a lot of insight and answer any question we had. Highly recommended!
Nicolle was a greate guide with all the knowledge you would need. Went to small and medium size wineries which what we were looking for as they are more intimate. Couldn't have asked for a better overall experience.
Honestly we had the best time and I couldn’t recommend more. My husband and I took a quick get away and this was the perfect way to experience local vineyards. It was intimate, information and just so lovely. Emmanuelle was 10/10!!
Thank you for a beautiful and unique experience. I will absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who is looking to explore the Saint Emilion area.
This was a GREAT day! Nicolle picked us up at the dock in Libourne on her birthday (!) and we just had a BLAST touring and tasting with her. She knows everything and everyone! The lunch she arranged was AWESOME! Very flexible in setting our 2 days up, paying attention to our "faves". I cannot recommend her highly enough.
We had a great day with Emanuel. She had the perfect day planned. Three fantastic wineries and touring St Emilion. The day was filled with great wine, great scenery and wonderful conversation
My wofe and I had a wonderful experience with Nicolle Croft. She truly knows wine and is extremely knowledgeable about the St Emilion appellation. It seems she knows everyone in the village!! Everywhere we went, she was saying hello to people. She knows how to expose you to the small, independent providers that you may not have heard of otherwise. She taught us about the land and the difference in the various geography in St Emilion, as well as some of the challenges that the Chateau owners face. Anyone wanting to visit St Emilion should have their wine tasting organized by Nicolle.
Nicolle is phenomenal! She is truly an expert in all things wine related while being professional and super friendly. We did not have to plan one aspect of this tour. Nicolle took care of everything. She did communicate along the way while requesting our input, but it was great to have expert recommendations and planning. It was the perfect balance of education, fun, and personalization.
