点评:With a reservation made online, we visited the chateau in early October 2023. We were received by Stephanie Merias who had confirmed the reservation via email.
We were surprised when we noticed this chateau is so closed to the tourism office that we could walk in 10 or 15 minutes (not a fast walker).
We were cordially received and Stephanie (down to earth and approachable character) provided answer to questions we had about their business model, their business operation, their wine making trade, for about an hour. We were only two visitors, but that did not stop Stephanie to give us her full attention and to share with us wines from multiple years of production. We liked what we tasted and carried a couple of bottles home for a special occasion. Since we were biking, Stephanie was kind to offer to keep the wrapped wine for the day, so we would not ruin it while biking at 30 degree weather.
This chateau is an accessible point of interest, if you are walking or on bikes, visiting wineries in Saint Emilion. Their wine does not ship to Canada (where I live), so the only way to get it for Canadian is to visit the site and carry it.
We truly appreciated the time, information and great wine, Stephanie shared with us and recommend a visit to this Chateau for anyone visiting Saint Emilion.
翻译:通过网上预订,我们于 2023 年 10 月上旬参观了城堡。斯蒂芬妮·梅里亚斯 (Stephanie Merias) 接待了我们,她通过电子邮件确认了预订。
当我们注意到这座城堡离旅游办公室如此之近时,我们感到很惊讶,我们步行 10 或 15 分钟就可以走完(步行速度不是很快)。
我们受到了热情的接待,斯蒂芬妮(脚踏实地、平易近人的性格)用了大约一个小时的时间回答了我们关于他们的商业模式、业务运营、酿酒贸易的问题。我们只有两名访客,但这并没有阻止斯蒂芬妮给予我们充分的关注,并与我们分享多年生产的葡萄酒。我们很喜欢我们品尝的东西,并在特殊场合带了几瓶回家。由于我们要骑自行车,Stephanie 很友善地提出保留当天包装好的葡萄酒,这样我们就不会在 30 度的天气骑自行车时破坏它。
如果您步行或骑自行车参观圣爱美浓的酒庄,这座城堡是一个方便的景点。他们的葡萄酒不会运往加拿大(我居住的地方),因此加拿大人获得葡萄酒的唯一方法是访问该网站并携带它。
我们非常感谢斯蒂芬妮与我们分享的时间、信息和美味的葡萄酒,并推荐所有访问圣埃美隆的人参观这座城堡。
