Medoc and Margaux

 Driving around two big wine regions in southwestern France, we passed numerous stunning chateaux, wineries, vineyards and churches..


This is a pretty chateau in the commune of Margaux-Cantenac.  We just drove past and I didn't catch the name.


Chateau Cos d'Estournel, a winery in the Saint-Estephe region, with Indian inspired architecture.  The winery dates back to 1791.


Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, a winery in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux.


Just passed this chateau and was attracted by the red roses.


Chateau Margaux is a 19th-century, neo-Palladian style villa, designed by Louis Combes, on a renowned wine estate.


Grape vines everywhere.

This is perhaps the most renowned wine area in the world. Beautiful Chateaus. I hope you also got to sample some of the wine.
