I can totally recommend a visit at the Winehouse of Monmousseau. We, my dad and I, did the self-guided tour which led us through some wine history, amazing art and it learned us the process of making wine.

After this short videos in the cave will explain the process of making (sparkling) wines and you walk past a couple of thousand bottles which is really impressive!
When the tour ends make sure you try some of the wines, you can ask for recommendations and they can tell you about the wines and where they come from.

And the highlight of the visit - the tasting! Monmousseau wines (brut and semi-sec, blanc, and rose) are light, flirty - simply delicious. Our deepest thanks to Margaux, the manager and the most...
