Je ne comprends pas le principe de payer pour goûter des fonds de verre. Les caves proposent des dégustations gratuites avant tout achat (et sans obligation d'achat d'ailleurs).
J'y allais principalement pour la visite des caves, et là encore je suis déçue. Il y a 5km de galerie mais la promenade s'effectue sur 500 malheureux mètres.
La visite de la cave est assez impressionnante, on image vite des kilomètres de cave sous la belle ville de Beaune.
Au niveau de la dégustation des vins, ceux proposés sont très moyens, voir de bas de gamme. Ce n'est pas ce que nous attendions.
Heureusement que nous avons eu à faire à Olivier qui a su mettre de l'intérêts dans cette visite. Nous n'avons pas acheté de vin car celui que nous avons gouté étant très moyen cela ne nous a pas convaincu à faire des achats.
