Our guide Sara was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions patiently and clearly. She was very sweet and spoke great english so she was easy to understand for us Americans. It ended up being a private tour since others did not show up but Sara cheerfully conducted the tour anyways. It was very informative and demonstrated the contrast between traditional and modern winemaking and styles. Beautiful grounds and facilities. We would highly recommend the tour.

A very insightful and entertaining tour. Our tour guide Quentin was very knowledgeable and funny. We tasted two beautiful reds and a rose. There was also the option to buy a glass of wine to take around with you. The vineyard was a couple minutes drive from the scenic village of St Emillon. We will definitely be returning!
