Chateau de Lantic sits in Martillac, in the heart of Pessac-Léognan, but still close enough to Bordeaux to make the whole stay feel deliciously easy. Its history dates back to 1720 when it was built for the daughter of Captain de Lantic, an officer of Louis XV.
What we like here is the contrast. You get 18th-century architecture, a one-hectare French garden and vineyard surroundings, but the mood is not dusty or formal. There is a private spa, outdoor pool, complimentary bikes and walking routes through the surrounding vines, so the experience is less “grand château performance” and more “Bordeaux weekend with very good scenery.” For us, this is one for couples and city-breakers who want wine country without disappearing too far off-grid.
