Exceptional tour of Clos du Calvaire Sebastian provided my wife and I with an outstanding tour of the winery. He was very personable, made us feel very at ease, great sense of humor, patient and knowledgeable. We unfortunately do not speak French, fortunately for us Sebastian's English was very good. We did not feel rushed, he answered all of our questions and provided a delightful conversation relating to the history of the winery, the wine and pairing with food. Obviously he enjoys the work that he does and is pasionate about the food and wine sector.
