the pool at the chateau

harvesting in the vineyards

 

" I feel compelled to add my thanks for what was the most superb trip. The accommodation was 1st class and the organised tutored tour and tasting was fantastic. I cannot tell you how good the lunch at the Chateau was, and the whole day on Saturday was again 1st class. For fear of running out of superlatives and adding my praise of the individuals involved I can only say that this is the best weekend break I have had for many years. I have been recommending it to many of the guys at work and am sure that you won’t mind me passing on your details. Looking forward to Epernay, Reims or Burgundy already! "
