The tours and tastings were wonderful, having the food made by his mother in his family home with our new friends we met on the tour was a core memory for sure! When my husband shared the story that we were familiar with Pic Saint-Loup because he proposed to me with a bottle from Chateau La Roche 14 years ago, Bertrand said, “Then we go there!” It added such a special touch and he even found an old bottle of the same wine, same vintage in their old bottle display!
