Paulliac – Day 6
Time for the left bank, or Rive Gauche, home of the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bordeaux_Wine_Official_Classification_of_1855).
We were docked in Paulliac but toured the Medoc from north to south. We saw Château Margaux (Premiers Crus), Château Lafitte Rothschild (Premiers Crus) and stopped for a tasting at Château Marquis de Terme (Quatrièmes Crus).
We had a lovely dinner at Chateau Kirwan (Troisièmes Crus). It was a catered by our ship’s kitchen staff who had to haul everything to the estate for a dinner for almost 200 people. It was an amazing feat of planning and execution, given that they weren’t given access to the property that day until 4:00pm and we ate at 7:00pm. Oh – the Chateau Kirwan estate wines were excellent!
