What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Visually they blend classic opulence with modern focus, and in terms of the comforts they’re state-of-the-art luxury-boutique rooms and suites.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Gravel paths wind through Saint-Estèphe vineyards in the Haut-Médoc, where historic estates spread quietly toward the Gironde estuary.
The rooms
Oak parquet floors and raw linens set a calm tone, with freestanding bathtubs and colonnaded balconies overlooking rows of vines.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated across the season, the 18-metre pool stretches across the lawn beneath mature centenarian trees.
Massage and fitness
A canvas yurt hidden in a bamboo grove hosts tailored massages, beside a windowed Technogym studio.
Dogs stay too.
Le Restaurant at La Maison d'Estournel
Chef Jérôme Banctel directs a seasonal regional menu, served from an open kitchen onto the garden terrace.
At the table
Velvet stools line the green marble bar for aperitifs and tastings poured from the Cos d'Estournel cellars.
How it began

The manor was the private residence of Louis-Gaspard d'Estournel, the 18th-century founder of the adjacent Cos d'Estournel estate.
