Interesting Cave Tour

Beautiful historic building, grounds & cave tour. Would prefer one 3 oz tasting rather than a smidgeon of each. ;-}.

Nice experience

Owing to the historical location of Les Cordeliers the tour was reasonably interesting. I would suggest a far greater effort could be made visually underground. The process could be enhanced with visual posters, cleaned machinery, mock ups of the manufacture process, more historical information given etc. The tour could be enlivened and enhanced quite easily to make it 5*.

We had a fantastic tour of the cellars. Artur (i hope i spell the name correctly) was very informative, engaging and was more than willing to answer any questions we had. Definitely recommend this tour and a stop with some cremant in the gardens

We had an excellent tour (in very good English) and wine tasting. Our host showed us all around the site and in to the underground caves explaining all about the wine making processes (old and new). Would definitely recommend.
