This is a time for explanations that will vary according to the vegetative cycle of the vine on which depends our seasonal work that we will explain and show to you,

This tasting will be commented on for each wine, with an introduction to the different appellations and characteristics of the Bordeaux region in the first part.
Special note from Marie:
Hello everyone,
Currently setting up on the farm with my parents, I was raised in the middle of the vineyards, I decided to open the doors of our vineyard to share our wines, our history, and our passion for the winemaking profession with you.
I hope to welcome you for a moment of sharing and friendliness where I will tell you all about our work from the vine to the bottle.
Attentive to the group, I tailor the visit and tasting to your interests and questions.
Wishing to see you very soon,
Cheers
Marie
