点评:Our tour guide, AJ, gave an excellent, personal and informative talk on the family run wine business. Having checked first to see if anyone had any commitments post tour , which none of us did, we spent a good two hours plus there. She would have been happy to give a shorter tour if necessary.
AJ was happy to answer any questions, however basic and I came away with an appreciation of the hard work and challenges involved in work wine production. AJ also offered to take group photos.
We were given 4 wines to taste, 3 red and 1 rosé, and shown what to look for.
There was no hard sell of the wine post tour at all. In fact, I had enquired on the pourer discs and wine stopper and was able to purchase these at the shop.
We also came away with one mid-range bottle and some of the inexpensive key rings made from the Château's corks. Ideal for presents. I would thoroughly recommend the tour and you are close to the historic town of Saint-Emilion, which is well worth a visit.
翻译:我们的导游AJ就这家家族经营的葡萄酒企业做了一次精彩、亲切且内容丰富的讲解。她事先询问了我们是否有人在游览结束后还有其他安排,结果我们都没有。于是我们在那里待了两个多小时。如有需要,她也乐意安排一次更短的参观行程。
AJ欣然解答了我们提出的任何问题,无论问题多么基础。通过这次参观,我深刻体会到了葡萄酒酿造行业所需的辛勤努力与面临的种种挑战。此外,AJ还主动提出为我们拍摄团体照。我们被提供了4款葡萄酒进行品尝:3款红葡萄酒和1款桃红葡萄酒,导游还向我们介绍了品鉴时需要注意的要点。
游览结束后,完全没有强迫推销葡萄酒的情况。事实上,我曾询问过倒酒用的圆盘以及葡萄酒塞的购买事宜,最终也在商店里成功买到了这些商品。
我们还购买了一瓶中等价位的葡萄酒,以及一些用酒庄软木塞制作的廉价钥匙扣——非常适合作为礼物。我大力推荐这次游览;此外,这里离历史悠久的圣埃美隆镇也很近,绝对值得一游。
