01 · In a sentence

Château Larrivet Haut-Brion in Léognan.

Château Larrivet Haut-Brion commands sweeping views across the Graves vineyard region, with manicured gardens descending toward rolling hills and mature oak groves.

The 18th-century estate rises from 33 hectares of classified terroir in Léognan, presenting stone façades and classical architecture against a backdrop of vines and forest.

Ceremonies unfold on grounds where wine production and hospitality have coexisted for over three centuries.

Margaret treated us to a fantastic tasting experience! She truly was incredibly knowledgeable and made the tasting fun, engaging and interactive! She gave us a fantastic rundown of the history and process of winemaking. She is a true Francophile! Thank you Margaret! Highly recommend!!!
