Pauillac

It says, "Classified as a fifth growth in 1855, Chateau Pontet Canet entered the Tesseron family in 1975.

Since then, this Pauillac estate has challenged Bordeaux tradition, embracing biodynamic farming while honoring its historic vineyards.

My guest, Justine Tesseron, brings the next generation's perspective to that balancing act.

We'll explore family legacy, the courage to change, and the tension between the romance of chateau life and the business of wine.

On the left bank, west of the water, you get gravelly soils.

Cabernet Sauvignon is king, and that's the world of the 1855 classification, Margaux, Pauillac, and the great Médoc château.

That's the region everyone pictures when they think Bordeaux.

Saint-Emilion is the other Bordeaux.

For the tour, I guess, Tara, the tour, we stayed in Bordeaux, and there's probably reasons why Travelling Fit chose Bordeaux for us to stay.

Yeah, so in Pontiac, it's a very, very little town, like very small.

The amount of accommodation that they require for the marathon, it's just not there.

It's not available.

So do I take it there was an expo or there was no expo or how did that work?

There was an expo where you go pick up your own race bibs yourself and all your bits and pieces.

However, because that was done all in Puglia, it was an hour away.

Michael, who is with Travelling Fit, he had actually picked up all of our race packs for us.
