The 30 hectares viney of Chateau Les Dames de la Renardiere is on the outskirts of La Sauve-Majeure, historic centre of the Entre-Deux-Mers region.The intrinsic quality of the vineyard, combined with entirely traditional winemaking methods, produce some of the best wines of this appellation : bright, fresh, highly-aromatic dry white wines and soft, full-bodied reds with lovely, concentrated aromas
2. Abbaye de La Sauve-Majeure
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 117 reviews
Masterpiece of Roman art of 12th century, this Benedictine Abbey quickly became established as an active religious centre. The majestic ruins let discover remarkable sculpted capitals with biblical figures and monsters from ages or far oriental countries. From the top of its bell-tower, you can enjoy a remarkable view on the village and the countryside. In December 1998 the Abbey was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site as one of the stages on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.

This place is well worth a visit and at 6 euros for an adult a bargain. You can get a good sense of what the place must have been like when it was fulkly operational. The climb up the tower is worth the effort and affords a terrific view of the surrounding countryside but also the foot print of the old Abbey. We took small binoculars which helped us to see some of the sculpture work. The museum has some pieces of note especially the floor tiles. A must see place if in the area.
