History & Heritage
Founded in 1999 by Alice and Jérôme Tourbier, Les Sources de Caudalie exemplify a fusion of tradition and innovation. Situated on the vineyard estate of Château Smith Haut Lafitte, this establishment draws inspiration from local resources, such as thermal spring water and vines, to develop an offering marked by naturality. The hotel has received the Palace label from Atout France, a recognition that highlights the excellence of this unique venue.
The In-House Experience
With its 61 rooms and suites, ranging from 27 m² to 70 m², the hotel offers a range of accommodations that blend elegance and authenticity. The 50 classic rooms and suites provide views of the vineyards, extending the sensory experience.
Dining
### La Grand'Vigne Nicolas Masse, the Michelin-starred chef, deftly orchestrates the menu at La Grand'Vigne, which has received two Michelin stars. The menu celebrates the gastronomic treasures of Nouvelle-Aquitaine: caviar and lamb from the Pyrenees, showcased in modern and refined compositions.
### La Table du Lavoir In a more relaxed atmosphere, La Table du Lavoir highlights traditional cuisine. Among the signature dishes, the grilled free-range chicken supreme, accompanied by crispy potatoes, trumpet mushrooms, and a Béarnaise sauce, exemplifies the sincere and flavorful approach of the venue.
Both restaurants emphasise short supply chains and local produce.
Wellness & Spa
The Vinothérapie® Spa, in partnership with the Caudalie brand, offers exclusive treatments based on grapes and thermal water. Signature treatments include the Vinoperfect facial, Vinotherapist massage, and Premier Cru treatment. An indoor pool, sauna, and hammam complement the wellness offering.
Just Steps Away
Approximately 252 meters away, La Forêt des Sens invites a meditative stroll amidst the surrounding nature. Accessible on foot from the hotel, this wooded area perfectly integrates into the pastoral setting of the place. Furthermore, Château Smith Haut Lafitte, renowned for its Grand Cru Classé of Graves, serves as a major point of interest for wine enthusiasts.
