A Journey of Excellence
Our History
The story of Château Alto Cormeil is that of a Franco-Argentinian family whose journey has always been closely connected to wine, travel and the pleasure of bringing people together.
From Anjou in the Loire Valley to Mendoza, at the foot of the Andes, and finally to Saint-Émilion, our story has unfolded across three remarkable wine regions, each with its own traditions, landscapes and culture.
After more than twenty years in Argentina, we chose to return to France to bring a personal dream to life: creating a welcoming home where we could share our passion for wine, hospitality and places rich in history.
Château Alto Cormeil was born from this desire.
We imagined an intimate guesthouse where visitors could feel genuinely welcome, enjoy the peaceful surroundings and discover Saint-Émilion through our personal recommendations.
For us, hospitality is above all about genuine encounters, thoughtful details and the pleasure of sharing.
Our Home
With origins dating back to the mid 19th century, our manor house reflects the rich winemaking heritage of Saint-Émilion.
Its golden limestone walls, generous proportions and former winemaking facilities tell a story we were determined to preserve during its renovation.
Today, the estate’s historic spaces have been transformed into five distinctive guest rooms, two inviting lounges and relaxation areas, combining authentic character with modern comfort.
Outside, nearly 4,000 m² of landscaped grounds provide a peaceful setting in which to unwind.
We have preserved the spirit of a private country home, where guests can read, relax, share a glass of wine or simply enjoy the garden.
