What to expect
Expect a leisurely drive down winding vineyard roads in genuine French style—the Citroën's retractable roof frames views of rolling Médoc terrain as your guide shares estate histories and terroir insights. You'll stop at select châteaux where tastings occur (booked separately, typically €10–60 per property). The car itself becomes part of the experience: elegant, spacious, and unhurried. Whether you opt for a morning or full-day outing, the pace suits contemplation rather than rushing through tasting rooms.
