布納爾古城堡

Chateau Bonalgue is located just outside the town of Libourne in the Pomerol wine region. It is an operating winery, offering three nicely sized rooms for guests. There was a large parking area in front of the winery. Eveli did her best to ensure our comfort. We arrived late and used a key box to enter the Chateau (it’s very dark in this area). The next morning, we had to leave early for a guided wine tour and the Chateau left some food out for our breakfast. It was harvest season and we saw the workers head to the vineyard to pick Merlot grapes. Our room was large, clean, and comfortable. This is a restored mansion, so the rooms blend the old with the new. The bath area is modern. What makes the Chateau unique is that we had free rein of the large living room and kitchen. We enjoyed going down early to use the expresso machine. There is also a large area to sit outside. The Chateau offers a free tour of the vines and cellar, as well as a tasting of the wines produced by the family. Adrien was our guide, and the tour and tasting were excellent! With our guided wine tour and this tasting, we felt that we completed a mini class in Bordeaux wines.
