Super nice wine tasting! Host Sebastien was good in English and talked warmly and knowledgeably about his wine castle that has been in the family for generations. Good wines that we gladly bought with us home!
We were received by Sebastian, the owner. The explanations about the history of the castle are very interesting. The visit to the vineyards and the cellar allow a good understanding of the vinification process. The whole thing ends with a tasting with comments and comparison between everything we saw. I recommend the epicurean tour.
We did not know what to expect when we booked this wine tasting event and boy were we impressed! Sebastian, the owner of the Chateau and vineyard was so personable and very laidback. You could feel a sense of pride he had for his family chateau and the generations of wine making. The wine was unforgettable. I highly recommend this excursion.
We spent a pleasant 90 minutes in the company of the Count. It was interesting to hear some history of the castle and his family. More interesting though was learning about the ecological cultivation of the vines. The highlight most definitely was enjoying the wines and a visit of the cellars.
Family run estate with a laid-back environment and some great wines across the region. Sebastien (winemaker) took us on a tour across the estate, discussing its fascinating history, along with details surrounding the vineyards and winemaking process. The wines were well explained and contextualised within the terroir and vintage, and Sebastien was an excellent host. Our tour was roughly 2.5 hours, though this might not be standard, as we did take our time. Whilst card options for payment are accepted, the machine was having difficulties whilst we were around, so I'd recommend bringing cash as a backup.
Lovely tour with a really passionate and engaged owner. Not flash but very down to earth. But run down but this added to the charm.
Very nice visit and service of our host. THE estate is very beautiful, as well as the castle that we unfortunately cannot discover. The outside walls of the castle are very beautiful with all the gargoyles and statues that decorate them The master of his place is passionate about his vineyards and his heritage. It is available to answer different questions. We enjoyed the discovery of the wines, which is superb. We also enjoyed the company of the cat of the estate during the visit To be redone and / or to be discovered.
Great behind the scenes view of the winery, just the two of us with Sebastian as Guide. After a walk around the vineyard and into the caves, enjoyed tasting 6 wines and some snacks, beautiful family property.
Sebastian is a very personable man who made us feel extremely welcome and his English was excellent. He was great at 'changing channels' between French and English. Also, his humour was brilliant. There was only a small group of us which made it enjoyable. The passion and history from Sebastian regarding his ancestry, the Château and his wine was superb. The tasting wines (of which there were 5) and accompanying foody bits were delicious. Special effort was made for my other half who is a coeliac. We ended up buying rather alot of wine, some glasses and other bits! Thank goodness for a car. Thoroughly recommend.
