The experience
the Alto Cormeil experience
Experience Saint-Émilion in a different way, at the leisurely pace of a family home.
A stay at Château Alto Cormeil is an invitation to discover the Bordeaux vineyards, their wines and their way of life, whilst enjoying the tranquillity of an intimate home.
Start your day with breakfast, set off to explore the wine estates of Saint-Émilion, then return to the tranquillity of the garden or the lounges.
To extend the experience, we offer guided tastings focusing on the terroirs that have shaped our story, as well as wine-tasting breaks designed for couples.
A personal and authentic way to discover our region.
Breakfast
Fresh bread, pastries, fruit and hot drinks make up this first meal of the day.
A relaxed and convivial moment, before you set off to explore Saint-Émilion and its vineyards.
Breakfast is included in the price of your room.
Our wines
For us, wine is much more than a passion. It is part of our family history, a source of inspiration and a wonderful way to bring people together.
Our signature cuvée, Prélude Alto Cormeil, was created in collaboration with a winemaker from Saint-Émilion (Vignobles Mouty).
We also offer a selection of Argentine wines from our producer friends in Mendoza, reflecting the wine regions that have shaped our story (www.cinco-sentidos.com.ar).
A journey through the wine-growing regions of our history
From the Loire to Argentina, and on to Saint-Émilion.
Set off to discover three wine-growing regions that have shaped our family history: Anjou, in the Loire Valley; Mendoza, at the foot of the Andes; and Saint-Émilion, in the heart of the Bordeaux region.
Through four wines, guided by an oenologist, discover the diversity of the terroirs, the characteristics of the grape varieties and the expertise that gives each wine its identity.
The tasting is accompanied by a selection of cheeses and cold meats to share.
A convivial experience, suitable for both curious beginners and wine enthusiasts.
Price: €50 per person.
Available at weekends, subject to prior booking and availability.
Saint-Émilion terroirs: Prestige Tasting
Why can two wines from Saint-Émilion express such different characters?

Through a selection of fine wines from Saint-Émilion, discover how geology, grape varieties and the winemakers’ craftsmanship influence the expression of each cru.
This experience is tailored to your preferences, your knowledge of wine and the bottles available.
Price on quotation, depending on the selection of wines.
Booking required.
