Insider tips

• Book the 18:00 tasting in summer - at 18:45 the sun hits the towers perfectly

• Ask to see the Cocteau chapel (small, sometimes locked) - murals from 1957

• The Blanc de Blancs (100% Rolle) pairs with the sunset view better than rosé

• Request terrace seating when booking - indoor tastings miss the point
