First of all, our tour guide Johanna was very kind and knowledgeable. (her English was excellent) The premises are everything you might expect from a reputable chateau where wine has been produced for over 400 years. Johanna's explainations about the wine making process were very interesting. This winery is a small wine producer who uses grapes produced on its own domain and tends to do almost everything "in-house" while upholding some high standards of traditional wine making. Kudos for that.My family and I were on a surf trip and visiting from Northern California. We are quite familiar with the wines and wine tasting places in the Napa/Sonoma/Alexander Valley region. It is important to mention for two reasons: Firstly, as much as some of our California wineries can be elegant and impressive, they will never have the cachet and class of an old chateau with a cave from the XVI century. Secondly, the wines produced by Chateau du Taillan are fine wines which I assure you, will please most American wine lovers, connoisseurs or not. I know well that people used to drink sun-soaked California red wines don't always enjoy French red wines. Well, as a self-professed wine snob myself, let me tell you: Chateau du Taillant's 2015 Haut-Medoc may "only" be classified as a "Cru Bourgeois" meaning that, on paper, it it is not be as prestigious as a Bordeaux "Grand Cru", I found that it was on par with much expensive and renown Bordeaux wines. Its tannic structure was well balanced with the perfect level of oak, a very low-level of acidity, on the fruity side (dark current?), a lot of body and a medium length yet pleasant finish. With a few more years of aging it will be a killer. I've paid twice as much for some bottles of Margaux that were not any better. For a little more than 20 Euros, an outstanding value in my opinion. The Sauvignon Blanc was excellent as well.Lastly, it is important to point out that Chateau du Taillan is an all female owned and operated winery. Those ladies are the descendant of a family who has owned the winery for generations. They can be proud of upholding such high standards and uncompromisingly producing such elegant wines.My wine-snob recommendation: Chateau du Taillan Haut-Medoc 2015. Get it!
