Very good experience. Valerie guided us through the chateau in Spanish, where we were able to see both the vineyards and the production area, as well as the old horse stables, which are spectacular. Highly recommended!

A pleasant wine tasting session with detailed descriptions by Ms Valerie. We paid €20 per adult for the session for 3 types of Haut Medoc of 2014, 2016, 2018. We fell in love with the wine and bought one home 💕

Everything was perfectly organized for the Heritage Days 👍. We were very well received. The young woman who showed us the property and the carriage museum was very dynamic and friendly. She knew how to inspire the audience with the history of the place and a lot of humor. The visit also included a tasting of 3 wines. It made us want to come back with friends. Congratulations!

Beautiful estate. The visit is very interesting because it is not limited to the wine aspect. We learn a lot about the history of the family and the estate. The discovery ends with a tasting of course. A nice moment that makes you want to come back, why not in one of the lodgings.

Wonderful guided tour of the grounds of the estate. Our hostess was so knowledgeable of the story of the family and how the vineyard operated. The wine was very good too and it seemed rude not to buy half a case.
