St Julien Region

St-Julien is located just north of the Central Médoc, almost halfway up the peninsula to the north of Bordeaux.

While many châteaux in the St-Julien region welcome visitors, most of them request advance notice. Casual visitors can try:

Château Beychevelle, a 17th century property which is said to be one of the most beautiful in Médoc; Château Branaire-Ducru, an immaculate château nestled in its grounds opposite Beychevelle; and Château Lagrange which was taken over by a Japanese company in 1983.
