I made the mistake of not studying the map carefully when I started booking winery visits for a few days stay in Bordeaux after the Lourdes pilgrimage. Although it was blatantly obvious that the Medoc appellations can stretch a long way towards the Atlantic and away from the city, it was not so obvious that Sauternes, which was just next to Graves is also not very near, We found out after a very expenisve taxi ride from Chateau Pape Clement. In the end, we found a place to stay for the night in Sauternes itself, for we had paid for a visit in the afternoon of the next day to Chateau d'Yquem.The consequence of this little side trip was I gave up trying for the vineyards of the Medoc and the Right Bank as I cannot assure myself of reasonable transport arrangements. WE explored the city instead for the remaining day.
