In Saint-Germain-d’Esteuil, Château Castera, a medieval landmark of the northern Médoc, will launch the “Lire entre les Vignes” project in 2026, in collaboration with the landscape designer Enzo Enea. Tours will be temporarily suspended during the renovation work, but tastings and wine sales will remain available at the estate’s reception.
