You’ll learn to identify their characteristics (aromas, structure, freshness, roundness, etc.) and understand the role each plays in the blends of our cuvées. Guided by our team, you’ll then create your own blend by testing various combinations to achieve your ideal balance—just as an oenologist would in the cellar. A fun, educational, and sensory experience that will give you a deeper understanding of the technical decisions behind a Château Vignelaure wine.

In Vino at Château Jouvente
Illats, Bordeaux
As part of “Vignobles en Scène,” we’re opening our doors to wine enthusiasts—whether beginners or seasoned connoisseurs—for an “In Vino” tasting. “In Vino” means we’ll be tasting wine that’s still aging directly from its container (tank or barrel). The idea is to let visitors step into the shoes of the cellar master through this technical tasting held in unusual settings, rather than a traditional tasting room. This activity includes a tour of the estate, technical information, and a final tasting.
