Emma was extremely attentive! She gave our tour in English. She didn't miss anything, especially her friendliness. We loved it so much! The place is beautiful, beautiful! We were able to see all the stages of production. It was definitely one of the best tours we've done. In absolutely every aspect. The chateau is beautiful and the wine delicious. The tasting room is charming! It was worth it!
