Visit Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne in 2019

We regularly visit and taste at the beautiful Chateau Pichon Baron in Pauillac. Great people and delicious wines.

Chateau d'Yquem in Sauternes produces sensational sweet wines as well as a beautiful dry white. The gardens are beautiful too.

Chateau Latour has a tower!! Even in winter the vineyards have character.

We normally taste Chateau Lafite Rothschild in the cellars uner candlelight. A wonderful experience.

We also can organise accomodation at sensational Chateaux such as this one above.

We are planning many more wine tours in Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne at the moment. Some of the tours for 2019 will be group tours, so if you have a small group of friends and colleagues who want to come and taste some lovely wines and taste amazing food and have a wonderful experience, then email hamish@bellawines.co.uk
Many other tours are bespoke guided, private tours............

Chateau d'Yquem theft and flowers

Last week I was lucky enough to visit Chateau d'Yquem with some clients. This stunning Chateau in Sauternes has a remarkable heritage and history dating back over a thousand years. The beautiful wine has been served at Royal housheolds throughout the World for many centuries. This wine is the epitome of a luxury brand. It is now controlled by Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy, who have an excellent track record for promoting, marketing and selling luxury.
When I visited the Chateau the gardens were in full bloom. The colours and smells were sensational. The bees were very happy.
Unfortunately on Sunday night there was a break in at the Chateau and 384 half bottles of the 2010 vintage were stolen....the approximate market value for these bottles is €100,000.
