Why this circuit

Pessac-Léognan is the appellation closest to Bordeaux: some estates are practically at the city's edge. It's often the first circuit our passengers choose, ahead of the longer days in the Médoc or Saint-Émilion.

The short format takes nothing away from the visits: the format stays the same, with the time each stage needs.
