At that time, the Moors go raise up to saint Emilion by settling their camp in a place that we baptize at first ” Moorish City “, then in time, Villemaurine. It is in the VIIIth century when the monk Emilion settles down in the region and which will give its name to the village of the same name. It will succeed then some owners until 2005, year in the course of which the Onclin family enters the history books in his turn of Villemaurine.
In 2007, Justin Onclin, enthusiast of wine and vine growing, expert thanks to its inheritance and its trader’s job, produces its first vintage wine of Chateau Villemaurine. With the will to establish a family heritage and to develop his own wines, he quickly becomes aware of the wealth and the extraordinary potential of Chateau Villemaurine. To you make them discover, he opens his doors to the visitors who will not miss to discover this magic place of history and oenological quality.

Tour 16 April 2022. Excellent tour. I cannot remember the name of the tour guide but she was amazing. Perfect English, funny, informative and answered all of our questions. Highly recommended.

Kudos to a legendary woman-owned, woman-curated Saint Emilion vineyard! We will be back! -Sujata Sullivan
Cette visite restera gravée en nos mémoires pendant longtemps, tant l\'accueil fut bienveillant, agréable, riche d\'informations. Merci à notre guide qui a su nous transmettre son amour des lieux et sa passion du vin, tout en nous donnant l\'impression d\'être des hôtes spéciaux. Une visite que nous recommandons vivement et un vin à déguster encore et encore !
Wonderful tour and an excellent guide. We did the English speaking tour and had such a wonderful time. The trip to the quarry where the wine is stored and the terrace with views over the vineyard were our personal highlights. I would highly recommend
We zijn uitstekend ontvangen door een dame wiens naam ik jammer genoeg vergeten ben. We kregen een interessante en persoonlijke rondleiding en degustatie van 1,5u. Op al onze vragen werd geantwoord en de dame pauzeerde ook af en toe zodat we waar nodig konden vertalen voor onze kinderen. De onderaardse kelders zijn natuurlijk het hoogtepunt van het bezoek en geven een grote meerwaarde tegenover andere châteaux in Saint-Emilion. Het bezoek is zijn geld meer dan waard en de wijn is, zoals men mag verwachten, excellent.
I highly recommend the tour and wine tasting at Chateau Villemaurine. Stessie was an excellent English guide and very personable. She provided great context and details around the chateau, the wine making process and the estate\'s limestone caves. Thank you for an exquisite time!
Une visite très détaillé avec une guide agréable un petit groupe de 6 personnes très sympas Une dégustation très échangée pour une première pour mon mari et moi on a vraiment adoré
We had a terrific time. The tour and information provided were excellent. We would highly recommend Villemaurine to anyone visiting David and Nicole
Beau domaine, visite intéressante et bien expliquée, à côté du centre de Saint-Emilion.
Visite très interessante et de qualité. Très agreable d\'être en très petit groupe ! Nous avons été très satisfaits de l’ensemble de la prestation.
Un superbe château, un domaine d\'exception, une visite agréable. Avec les explications claires et détaillées de notre guide. Le tout couronné par une dégustation de divers millésimes dans un show room ouvert sur les vignes et la ville. Magnifique!
My annual wine budget is around 1000 euro but I buy locally in Copenhagen due to high transport cost to Denmark
Visite agréable, très beau domaine, explications pertinentes et bonne dégustation face aux vignes
Wonderful tour! I would highly recommend this tour of this beautiful winery if you’re visiting Saint Emilion!
La prestation est très bien. Accueil très agréable. Excellente dégustation. J’aurais aimé plus de commentaires sur les parfums des vins.
We came with 2 children (10 and 8) and we all loved the tour of the vineyard, the wine making machines and the underground passages, as well as the wine tasting. A great experience for current and future wine drinkers alike.
Un bon accueil avec des explications simples et intéressantes. Un domaine avec une superbe vue sur Saint Emilion.
Vraiment très satisfait de la visite et des explications. Nous avons passé un très bon moment Merci à Stacy
Visite extrêmement intéressante, je recommande ce domaine vivement à ceux qui peut être comme moi ne savait pas quel domaine viticole visiter. Nous en avons appris sur la région, l’histoire du château, les vins et l’histoire de bordeaux! Je suis ravie de l’expérience !

Très belle visite du domaine. Cadre magnifique. Explications claires. Merci à Karine pour cette visite, on sent une personne passionnée qui a envie de nous faire découvrir l\'univers du vin, ainsi que l\'histoire du Château de Villemaurine. Je recommande !
Très bon moment passé lors de la visite privilège avec Karine, notre guide. Une visite et des explications de qualité. Les cavernes souterraines sont très belles, un meilleur éclairage les mettraient encore davantage en valeur. Pour finir, Karine a su nous mettre a l\'aise lors de la dégustation. Attentive et a l\'écoute de notre ressenti, elle a réussi à me réconcilier avec le vin rouge grâce a son discours de passionnée par la vigne et le vin.
Notre guide a été superbe ! On lui remercie beaucoup

Une guide très agréable et accueillante. A l\'écoute des visiteurs. On voit qu\'elle est passionnée par le vin et arrive à la transmettre parfaitement.
We had a lovely visit and really enjoyed the tour. We would highly recommend for someone to visit and try the delicious wine that is offered.
Please update your question for \"Êtes-vous\". I listed myself as a connoisseur because I have 732 bottles of wine. The description, however says \"less than 100 bottles\". Anyhow, our experience at Villemaurine was wonderful. Thank you very much!
It was a wonderful experience and our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. Highly recommend the experience.
Belle visite des souterrains calcaires de Saint-Emilion et des chais du château.
Immersive and professional tour. Experience to be redone and they recommend to all.
At Chateau Villemaurine was worth it every minute spent there touring. Our guide gave us many good inside information and new knowledge that I got, that was happy to be there. I will recommend it to anyone who wants to go visit top wine makers.
The tour and the tastings were one of the best we had in the region.
Please, send me the list in french.
On a beaucoup aimé Stessie et toute la visite.
I was there with american friens and they really appreciate the visit. they also liked the wine and made a shipping to Austalia for a friend of theirs for 300 and so, Euros. I will recommand this Chateau to friend and family.
