Weekend très sympa

Très bon accueil au Domaine Bertrand-Bergé. Visite du domaine avec Mme en 4 x 4, très belle balade où nous avons appris plein de choses sur les différents cépages, les terroirs. Ensuite visite du chai, où nous avons eu la chance de gouter des blancs en cours de fermentation. La dégustation après était un moment très agréable et convivial, agrémentée de petits chaussons au roquefort et jambon faits maison. Ensuite à domaine Grand Guilhem belle chambre (mais pas de vin, ni de chocolat) et initiation théorique à la dégustation très sommaire. Bons vins, dommage qu'il n'y avait plus de blanc, ni de rosé. Jolie maison, bonne literie, très bon petit déjeuner. Très bon diner au restaurant, service impeccable.
