My wife and I recently returned from an excellent week in Bordeaux, visiting Ronald and Margaret Rens at Chateau Coulon Laurensac. We attended the 2012 Harvest Tour. I have been a lover of French wines for over twenty years. My wife and I have travelled extensively in Europe, and without exception our "Experience" at The Bordeaux Wine Experience was top-notch....

What a delightful surprise. My lovely wife Beth decided to celebrate my milestone birthday by treating me to a wine tour of Bordeaux, something we had been talking about for some time. The catch was that neither one of us is big on “group tours”, but we realized that if we wanted to experience the grand chateaux, exceptional wines and... More

During Wine Grand Tour we‘ve visited First Growth Chateaux, had stunning dinners in the old-style lavish atmosphere of wine. It is such an amazing experience and unforgettable feeling when they easily open for tasting the bottle of wine of the 1st Cru Classé, that you would probably never dare to buy because of its price! I said easily… but easily... More

From the champagne welcoming to Chateau Coulon Laurensac by Ronald and Margaret to the Farewell dinner in the Chateau dining room and everyting in between, this was truly a GRAND tour. Each morning began with breakfast in the sunny beautiful glassed in veranda overlooking the pool and grounds. Our suite with sitting area and kitchen downstairs and spacious bedroom and... More

For visit we've chosen Wine Grand Tour package. We’ve been living in a private Chateau, hosted by Ronald and Margaret. Every day Ronald and Margaret have taken care of us - delicious breakfast (French croissants were amazing) served in the Chateau, gorgeous dinners at Chateau with outstanding 1st cru wines and even bottles of warm/cold (depending on your preferences) water...

We looked around for a 'luxury' gite in this area extensively online before choosing this and based it on the previous reviews and unfortunately we have to say we were a tad disappointed. We have stayed in gites classed as luxury previously and this fell short in comparison in a few areas which may seem trivial but they do count.... More

We had done a lot of research and Chateau Coulon Laurensac really was the best. Unlike a lot of other reviewers, we did not select the Bordeaux Wine Experience, but only used the property for a staging base for a week in Bordeaux. From our arrival we were made to feel at home. Roland met us at the gate, helped... More

My husband & I spent a weekend in Bordeaux in October. This place really was incredible. Margaret met with us when we arrived & gave us our itninerary for the next 2 days. We didn't have to think about anything really. The room was really nice & spacious. It was actually more like a suite & in a building seperate... More

We arrived at this magnificent chateau not knowing really what to expect. We were treated to a warm reception and tour of the private wine collection by our hosts, Ronald and Nargaret Rens along with a history of the chateau and the area. This estate is located right in the heart of the Acquitaine wine region and 10 minutes by... More
