The visit begins with the history of the Capdemourlin family, winegrowers from father to son since 1647, owners of 3 châteaux in Saint-Emilion and Montagne.
This property takes you on a wonderful journey through time, starting with the medieval age with Canon Balestard, the original owner of the property from the 15th century, who gave his name to the château years later. The old 15th century watchtower, a major emblem of the property, offers a unique and unusual alliance with the new bioclimatic building by architect Claude Marty, containing the barrel cellar and the vat room.
To finish this experience, blind taste the 3 wines of our chateaux: Château Balestard La Tonnelle, Château Cap de Mourlin and Château Roudier. This tasting takes place on our panoramic terrace.
