Château d'Arcins is one of the oldest estates in the Médoc. It is exceptionally well-preserved and is one of the guardians of a vineyard dating back to the year 1300. Beyond the bricks and mortar, the property embodies the region's renowned personality, defined by the exceptional character of its landscapes, local people, and lifestyle.

The arrival at Lamarque is great

easy to get to the Médoc

A must-see in the Médoc

A ferry crosses the estuary between Blaye and Lamarque. Bicycles are of course welcome and the crossing costs the same as for a pedestrian (€4.50 in August 2024). Check the timetables on the department website: gironde.fr

New site for timetables: https://ccb-blaye.com/economie-et-tourisme/tourisme/les-heures-du-bac-blaye-lamarque/ Very simple boarding for cyclists, just be on time at the ferry to board at the same time as pedestrians.

The Château de Thau is very old and known since the 12th century. It belongs to the defense line of the Côte Girondine. Set slightly back from the shore, it dominates the ebb and flow without showing itself, like a carpet behind thick groves. Here and there, the name of Thau comes and goes at the bend of a manuscript but it is at the beginning of the 1400s that historians find traces of the successive owners - the Math family, from 1400 to 1480, - the Sudre family 1540 , the Hague, then the President of the Parliament of Bordeaux, Louis de Grimard owned everything between 1680 and 1700… In 1700 we know the state of the place: “vast lower rooms, all well furnished and the walls decorated with vast series of tapestries”. Today, the Albert Schweitzer family owns and administers the estate which is the flagship of Gauriac. Facing the Médoc, a few steps from the Gironde estuary, 41 hectares of vineyards are planted with 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 60% Merlot, on silty-limestone soil and extend over the Bourgeais region. The excellent geographical location allows the vineyard to benefit from favorable maturity criteria.
