Answer from Hugo Caquelot
Dear Wendy, Thank you for the time you spent to write this review, it is always interesting for us to know about the feelings of our guests. I totally agree with you concerning Château de Pressac, it is a fantastic chateau, and we take our guests very often there. The owner, who I personally know, is making wines that are getting better each year, and his Grand Cru Classé should raise in the Saint-Emilion classification that will be soon published. Concerning Château Franc-Mayne, we chose this chateau to show you the underground galleries. Even if these galleries are quite common in the region, it is not that easy to visit them, and only a very few chateaux are proposing such visits. It looks like you didn't appreciate their wine, this is not unbelievable not to love each of the Saint-Emilion wines. There are more than 850 of them, made by different persons, with different technics, from vines planted on very different plots, so you get different wines, and appreciate all of them the same would be quite difficult to believe. The last chateau was Château Rozier, and it has been a bad experience. Let me tell you it has been a bad experience for our guide too. It is not a Château we have the habit to work with, and it has been added to your program because you requested a "small" chateau, with very reasonable prices for their wines, which is the case. Served in good conditions, in the proper order the wines of this family are interesting and show a good complexity. But the chateau is not at all organized to receive visitors other than professionals, and we will not again take our guests to this chateau. Margaux our guide, was terribly sorry for this bad visit and presented you our excuses for this, right after the visit. Talking about Margaux, your guide for the day, she is not new in the job, and knows quite a lot about Saint-Emilion wines, but she was previously working in other chateaux and in the Bordeaux wine museum. And, with more than 850 chateaux around Saint-Emilion, you don't go that often to the same chateaux.
