Château Papounan

Château Papounan – 19th-Century Château Boutique-Hotel & B&B in Saint-Estèphe, Médoc Welcome to Château Papounan, a charming 19th-century guest house nestled in the heart of the Saint-Estèphe vineyards in the Médoc region. Our property is surrounded by renowned wine châteaux, just 25 minutes from the Atlantic beaches and an hour from Bordeaux. While we are fortunate to have beautiful views of the Garonne estuary, what our guests seem to appreciate most is the warm welcome. They often tell us that they feel like they are staying with old friends. We love sharing our passion for the region by helping guests discover local wineries, recommending good restaurants, and sometimes even sharing a glass of wine in our garden. We cultivate our own vineyard adjacent to the château. After winter pruning, trellising, lifting, and harvesting in September, the grapes are sent to the local cooperative to produce the “Marquis de Saint-Estèphe.”
