Château Haut Breton, located in Soussans in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, is a historic family-owned estate operated by the De Schepper family across three generations. The château produces wines from Margaux, Bordeaux Supérieur and Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellations and opens its cellar and barrel room for guided visits and tastings. Visitors can choose from a range of curated experiences: short terroir tastings, in-depth prestige sessions, private vineyard tours with barrel sampling, and relaxed visits with picnic or tapas pairings.
Guided by estate experts, each experience explains local terroir, grape varieties, and winemaking techniques used at Château Haut Breton Larigaudière. Tastings range from three-color samplers (rosé, white, red) to six-wine prestige flights, and often include direct barrel comparisons between French and American oak. Several visits highlight the estate’s traditional cellar, vine plots, and the De Schepper family’s heritage, offering both educational context and sensory tasting.
Groups can select private options such as 'La Parenthèse Unique' for a one-on-one vineyard walkthrough and barrel tasting, or shorter 30-minute terroir sessions for a focused introduction. On-site amenities include a boutique tasting space, a terrace shaded by plane trees, and pétanque facilities for relaxed post-tasting moments.
Château Haut Breton’s public programs emphasize transparency in production, regional appellations, and hands-on tasting notes. The estate provides clear descriptions of each tour, consistent family stewardship, and a range of tasting formats suitable for both casual visitors and committed wine enthusiasts. Booking information, group accommodations, and private requests are available through the château's booking channels and on-site boutique staff throughout the year.
