点评:We visited 4 of the top 10 listed wineries in the Cote de Beaune area, and all were very good, although Chateau de la Cree was exceptional. Why? Most wineries pour wine, although Chateau de la Cree pours wine and also pours an experience! Worth noting: Chateau de la Cree was the ONLY winery that poured wine in true wine glasses, and also used several different wine glasses during our experience. The other wineries used a single, smaller glass throughout all of the tasting pours. Also, of the 4 wineries we visited, Chateau de la Cree was the only one that provided us a tour of the vineyard and wine caves. In the wine cave is a room of visuals to enhance your knowledge of the soils of the area . . . what truly makes a difference and how.
Our host Ahmed Thomas (grew up in the area . . . a true local) is so passionate and knowledgeable about truly everything you could ever know about the area, soils, wine making, tasting wine, etc. We booked the morning tour, although after our tour we would of booked another tour, if we did not have others already booked . . . as we felt we came away with so much knowledge, and were thisting for more.
We have been our wine tastings/tours throughout the world . . . and both my wife and I believe Ahmed provided one the best, if not the best, tasting/tours we have ever experienced? Why? Ahmed pours wine + pours an experience. Thank you, once again, Ahmed. P.S. Definitely our first booked tour when we return one day again.
翻译:我们参观了博恩丘地区排名前十的酒庄中的四家,它们都相当不错,不过拉克里酒庄尤为出色。为什么呢?大多数酒庄只是单纯地倒酒,而拉克里酒庄则不仅倒酒,还为客人带来了一场全方位的品酒体验!值得一提的是:拉克里酒庄是唯一一家使用真正的葡萄酒杯来倒酒的酒庄,而且在我们参观期间还使用了好几种不同的葡萄酒杯。其他酒庄则在整个品酒过程中始终只使用一种较小的杯子。另外……在我们参观的4家酒庄中,只有Chateau de la Cree为我们安排了葡萄园和酒窖的参观。酒窖里有一个专门展示相关资料的房间,能帮助我们更深入地了解当地的土壤情况……以及这些土壤究竟是如何影响葡萄酒品质的。
我们的接待人艾哈迈德·托马斯就在这片地区长大,是个名副其实的当地人。他对这片区域的一切都充满热情且了如指掌——无论是当地风土、土壤特性、酿酒工艺还是品酒技巧等等。我们预订了上午的参观行程。虽然在我们参加完这次品酒 tour 之后,如果我们没有提前预订其他 tour 的话,我们还会再预订一次……因为我们觉得自己学到了很多知识,还渴望获得更多。
我们曾在世界各地参加过众多品酒活动/tour……我和妻子都认为,艾哈迈德为我们带来的绝对是最棒的,甚至可以说是我们经历过的最佳品酒 tour。为什么呢?因为艾哈迈德不仅倒酒,更为我们呈现了一段难忘的体验。再次感谢你,艾哈迈德。附言。绝对是我们下次再来时会首先预订的旅行团。
