A narrow peninsula between the Gironde estuary and the Atlantic, whose gravelly soils produce the world's most celebrated red wines from estates including Château Margaux, Pauillac's Latour, and Mouton Rothschild. The D2 wine road between Bordeaux and Pointe de Grave links classified châteaux whose architecture ranges from neoclassical grandeur to contemporary statement buildings.
