Along the beautiful

Along the beautiful Southern Slope of the plateau, we find Château de Candale a property once belonging to the Count of Candale, a descendant of King Edward III of England. Today this is the hub of four châteaux, two Saint Émilion Grand Crus (Château de Candale and Château Roc de Candale) and two Grand Cru Classés (Château La Commanderie and Clos des Jacobins), a restaurant, and a wine shop where you can taste and buy from all four of these properties. They also start and conclude tours and their tastings here for the other châteaux. This is a good food and wine center where you can spend the day and discover how the Queen of Merlot expresses itself differently from four different properties. It is a beautiful environment dining here at L’Atelier de Candale. Inside is filled with window-lined walls allowing natural light to flow in and for the eyes to take in the views. Outside is spectacular, overlooking the vineyards, forest and valley, under a large designer canopy. This is the place for the ultimate food and wine experience even more so because the owners make gastronomy a key focus of their business.
