A winery that protects the environment and employs wise winemakers to improve the quality and yield of its harvest. An excellent tour of the vineyards and winery, followed by a very pleasant tasting (food and wine). Special mention goes to Louis, who, at the age of 20, was passionate about wine and this winery and knew how to make our visit meaningful!

A very general experience! We visited the vineyards then the cellar and finally finished with an explanatory tasting of 6 wines. We learned a lot thanks to the clear and passionate explanation of Mr. Couly. Very attentive, visit adapted to the novices that we were and a lot of kindness. We will repeat the experience in another season because in the cold we have lots of new questions to ask😊.

★★★★☆ A very beautiful winery with friendly and knowledgeable staff. We received a warm welcome and had the opportunity to taste several wines. The advice was excellent – they took the time to explain the different grape varieties and vintages. The quality of the wines is outstanding, although the prices per bottle are on the higher side. Nevertheless, a worthwhile visit for wine lovers!

5 of us came today to try the escape game and taste the wines of the winery. The escape game is really very interesting and suitable for all levels. We had a great time with our friends and their 12 year old son, a really fun and entertaining activity. Afterwards we attended a tasting offered by their wine seller who explained to us the history of the winery and the wines they offer. This young man has a real passion for his job and for the company he works for. It was really interesting even for those who didn't drink alcohol. This young man is a gem for this company. We learned a lot and enjoyed this moment. A great idea to offer such activities.

I bought a Groupon voucher, the chosen date had to be changed and the customer service of Pierre and Bertrand Couly was very attentive to find a solution. No doubt that the service on site will be up to par when we take care of these customers like that. Thanks to Véronique for our discussions.
