Bordeaux
We were booked in for a tour that left on time
Excellent knowledge of the styles and vineyards and the history of the vineyard along with the impacts the major rivers have on the climate in Bordeaux
The young guy who showed us around the cellars and vineyards was from the 14th generation of this wine growing family and he was very proud of this and was very enthusiastic about showing us around his family's vineyard
