Bordeaux in $720s-$1070s RT

Ahhhhhh Bordeaux. How have you managed to sneak under the radar compared to your glitzier, overhyped neighbour?

Step off the plane and straight into an eighteenth-century novel, complete with honey-hued cobblestones, chic wine bars and gleaming chateaux. Of course, you'll wanna take a 40-minute trip to Château Margaux for a sampling of its namesake nectar, or go back in time for a tasting at a real-life castle in the medieval village of Saint-Émilion. 

Fair warning: one sip of that Médoc reserve, and you might just "forget" to book your return flight...
