Visits at Chateau Pape Clement start with the history of the property. Each chateau has a story to tell. Rich in architecture and culture, Bordeaux has so much to offer the wine enthusiast. American-owned Haut Bailly is an exceptional cru and they have an exciting new project! They have just hired a new chef and can propose lunches and dinners for small groups. A rare treat in this area!
