It was not friends it was my three adult children and two of their partners. They were mostly peed off because one of my sons is a brewing/distilling enthusiast and it was his idea and hadn’t told them it was 2 hours and the temperature was 42 degrees. Luckily after the history of the château, which was fascinating. We then were inside the winery in cool temperatures. It I fished off with a wine tasting that was as informative as it was delicious. They have a French and English tour at the same time. All the other people were German on our tour. The ardeche has very few British tourists but English is the second language of a lot of European nations so I can understand why they had this. Also the Wednesday evening tour is free and you still get the wine tasting accompanied by loads of sossicon and fromage de chèvre. The previously sceptical part of our group absolutely loved it. Massive success and together we bought about 9 bottles off them. I think the free tour makes decent financial sense. Particularly as another reviewer, who obviously paid, said they had a personal tour. Our English one had fifteen and the French one 25ish and everyone bought loads of wine at the end. I think the fact it was free( and they never pushed for sales) meant everyone spent very freely. One German family must have spent at leat 400 euros. Totally recommend this place. Can’t do better

Excellent tour and explanation of the winery overall. We enjoyed hearing about the history of the land, the different grapes being grown, all including an organic and biodiverse system in place for the 9 different wines. The fermentation and aging processes here are second to none. The different flavors from oak and clay barrel aging shined through and we bought 4 bottles to take home. Thank you to the fluent English speaking tourguide, Matt and the lovely young lady that greeted us. The picnic was a nice added attraction to the beautiful grounds. 45 hectares or roughly 111 acres is a lot of land. Again, it is a beautiful landscape. We will return.

Well priced to start with, so really surprised when realising that the tour was just for my wife and I!
Started with a visit to the vineyard, where Paulin described the history and geography as well as techniques used for growing, picking etc. and essentially the thorough, but interesting description carried right through the production and storage areas and then into the tasting of the 9 wines.
All really quite informal, informative whilst all of our questions were answered knowledgeably.
Whilst we happily purchased some wine at the end, no pressure had been applied to do so.
Excellent value and would thoroughly recommend - thanks very much Paulin.
