When we plan a day at Château Palmer for our clients, it is impossible to put into words how immersive, and utterly perfect, the experience is. It truly is a day like no other.

Last week, we dragged ourselves away from our desks and revisited Château Palmer ourselves. After donning our pre-prepared and pristine Wellington boots labelled with our names, our wonderful host, Inès, took us down to the charming carrelet on the banks of the Gironde estuary to set the scene. From there we headed into the vines where we met Technical Director, Sabrina Pernet, to discuss viticulture and biodynamics. The conversation then led us to the potager where we met Viviane who is in charge of the vegetable gardens and who had just harvested the asparagus, peas, edible flowers and other fresh produce we would be enjoying with lunch. We then headed into the chais for a tasting where we found General Manager, Thomas Duroux, who has expertly led the estate for over 20 years and whose vision has crafted the Palmer we know today.

Our comprehensive visit of the estate was followed by a magnificent private lunch in the château prepared by Chef Jean-Denis Le Bras, Executive Chef for Pierre Gagnaire for almost 20 years, served of course with the spectacular wines of Château Palmer going back to 2007.

Sincere thanks to Thomas and Inès for inviting us back to Château Palmer for the most wonderful day.

Visiting Château Palmer is as immersive, informative and thoroughly enjoyable as it gets, and every experience for each lucky person who gets to visit the estate is truly unique. Be sure to get in touch with The Bordeaux Concierge to incorporate this incredible experience into your next trip to Bordeaux.

It was a pleasure to work with the teams at Château Troplong Mondot and 67, Pall Mall to organize a fantastic vertical tasting of Troplong Mondot going back to 1988, hosted by CEO and winemaker, Aymeric de Gironde. It was fascinating to taste through the eras of this special estate including some of Aymeric’s first vintages and the iconic vintages of 2005 and 2009, and the 1988 and 1998 which show how beautifully the wines of Troplong Mondot can age. A brilliant tasting and a great evening had by all.

There are few Parisian addresses more iconic than 1, Place Vendôme, so how fitting it is that this elegant wing of Place Vendôme is home to one of the city’s most discreet and luxurious accommodations. The Scheufele family, owners of the luxury watchmaker and jeweler Chopard, have spared no expense in creating this most intimate of Parisian hideaways in the heart of the most visited city in the world. With 15 lavishly appointed suites, a private chef who will create whatever your heart desires, and no public access permitted, this truly is a home from home. No photos were permitted during our visit but we can assure you that this very special private property has raised the bar for ultra-discreet and ultra-luxurious accommodations in Paris. If you would like to know more, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the team at The Bordeaux Concierge.

Just before our glorious Indian summer came to an abrupt halt, we spent the most wonderful day with Youmna, Tony and Gabriel Asseily at beautiful Château Biac. After a fascinating visit of the vineyards and winery with Youmna, lunch was served on the terrace, with one of the best views in all of Bordeaux, and started with an aperitif of Biac’s delicious dry white ‘Felicie de Biac’ followed by an incredible scallop carpaccio paired with the sweet wine of estate ‘Secret de Biac’ and quail served with Château Biac 2015. The wonderful food and wine, paired with the ever gracious hospitality of the Asseily family made it a day to remember for our friends visiting from the US. Tim even hitched a ride up from the winery to the house on the back of Tony’s new quad bike! Special thanks to Youmna and Tony for your incredibly generous hospitality and the warmest of welcomes

Thank you to the teams at Dom Pérignon and LVMH for allowing us to host an exquisite, never to be repeated private Dom Pérignon pairing lunch for our guests in the gorgeous Orangerie in Epernay. The cuvées tasted included the phenomenal Dom Pérignon P2 2002 and P2 2000 and the very rare Dom Pérignon Rosé 2005. We also enjoyed a private tour of the Dom Pérignon cellars which sprawl beneath the famed Avenue de Champagne. A true one-off experience for our lucky guests.
