If you are going to Bordeaux, why fool around? Go to Mouton Rothschild and Margaux. Where else can you sample two of the premier crus? On the way back from Rothschild, you will find many, many beautiful little hamlets and chateaux (including the dovecote at Latour, which does not offer tours). Both of the above require reservations. The 'wine museum' at Rothschild was one of a kind, which is a second reason why it's a must. Every year artists try to be chosen for their work to be their label and the collection, along with dozens of other fascinating memorabilia, are in the museum. If staying in Bordeaux, take the highway out to Paulliac (which takes long enough) and the rambling wine road back down.
