Members' reviews on PIERRE & BERTRAND COULY
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
On m'a présenté cet endroit comme l'une des meilleures maisons vigneronnes de Chinon, et bien que l'endroit est tout à fait sympathique, nous avons été avec mon groupe d'amis pris en charge par un jeune en fin d'études de tourisme. Il n'était pas désagréable, voir sympathique lui aussi, mais n'a pas été capable de répondre à 2/3 des questions sur l'exploitation lors de la visite de cette dernière.
Pire lors de la dégustation des vins par la suite : nous avons été abandonné entre chaque nouvelle bouteille, se contentant d'un "Alors ce vin ?" à chaque nouveau passage, nous précisant qu'il "n'y connait pas grand chose en vin" lors du troisième passage, lorsque nous lui avons demandé ce qu'il fallait y rechercher. Un peu dommage pour un jeune qui indique vouloir se spécialiser dans l'œnotourisme :/
Bref, la découverte aurait sans doute été plus plaisante avec quelqu'un qui travaille sur l'exploitation j'imagine...

Escape game très ludique , expérience amusante qui a fédéré notre équipe , suivi d une visite très professionnelle du chai avec explications très pertinentes des méthodes culturales .
Dégustation commentée des vins du domaine , gros coup de cœur pour le Chinon blanc ( confidentiel ) et la cuvée V , un Chinon rouge de grande classe . Nous repartons trois heures plus tard , ravis de s’être arrêtés à Chinon .
