   Taste the Braquet Rouge

   wine $$

   A grape variety that exists nowhere else on Earth.

   During your tasting (€25 Découverte, 5 wines), specifically request the Cuvée Baron G rouge - it's 100% Braquet. Most visitors only try white and rosé. The red is the secret. Ask the guide which row of vines produced it.

   The view that convinced Romans to plant here 2,000 years ago.

   Walk to the estate's highest vineyard point (ask your guide). Face south. The Baie des Anges should be visible between the hills. Romans saw this exact view and decided the terroir was right. You're seeing what they saw.
