Bollinger

Adrien Bacquey came to Saint Emilion to promote Bollinger Champagne in my company; not an easy task as I have many good friends in the great Champagne region. 

The Champagnes in my shops and in my company tend to be purchased and consumed by members of the company, my wine maker friends, during meals at home and of course some customers and tourists that come to visit our region.

We were lucky to taste, to drink, La Grande Année Rosé 2004 brut and all those present were seduced by this bottle. 

Therefore Bollinger champagnes will take their place in our shop l'Essentiel from 2014

Philippe Etchebest

 

Murielle and I were invited to dine by friends from Saint Emilion at the Hostellerie de Plaisance and once again we had an excellent meal. The height of Philippe Etchebest's talent doesn't need to be explained again, because even if he is currently a star on French television on M6's 'Kitchen Nightmare', he still works hard to please his happy, smiling customers, people from the local area and many young gourmets.

This is great for his restaurant and great for Saint Emilion. Professional service, a great wine list... We had a great time.
