Web: Chateau Desmirail
The Chateau Desmirail is a winery with some 40 hectares (99 acres) of grapes in the Margaux-Cantenac canton. Their wines are considered in the 3rd best growth (crus in French).
As castle estates go, this one is not eye catching. It’s not really a chateau, just some low buildings.
They are open to visit, but like all other wineries in this region, you’ll need to reserve well in advance.
The Chateau organizes wine tasting evening (and with cheese) and visits to the production and cellars.
