Great visit, Chris our host was very lovely and accommodating. This château is a good middle ground of not too commercial and touristy but also not a small operation. The wines are fantastic!

We had the most fantastic tour with Nicolas. This was our favorite chateau of all the ones we visited on our trip. The wine was truly incredible
The tour was amazing, Nicolas was an amazing host and enjoyed every single moment of the the tour. The session in English was very well delivered, I enjoyed every single part of the tour.
We were absolutely blown away by the hospitality at this Chateau. Christian was so welcoming and down to earth, it was such a breath of fresh air from a few of the other Chateau, that could care less if you were there or not. If you are making a visit to the Left Bank, this should be at the absolute top of your list. The wine has always been phenomenal, but when you have staff with a passion for their job like this, you have a customer for life. Merci Beaucoup Christian!
Excellent private vertical tasting session with matching charcuterie and cheese platter each. We tried 2008, 2009 (Robert Parker 100 points) and 2010 (double stainless steel tank). The tour of the winery was excellent and the lady explained the histories, interesting family stories and the whole wine making process from hand picking grapes, sorting tables, fermentation, barrel selections, racking etc. We have learnt a lot and appreciate the wine differently now. We had the opportunity to taste the actual grapes from 4 different varieties as well which used in their blends and we really understood how to distinguishing different grape varieties by looking at the leaves. Charcuteries and cheeses matched the wine perfectly; we both particularly loved the curred smoked duck! It was so delicious! Merchants and wine are available to purchase from their retail store and we took home the 2010 vintage. Reservation is definitely recommended and they only have a very small amount of private booking available. We had our private guide Guillaume arranges everything for us.
