La FONT du BROC Vineyard

We visited this Vineyard today and it just looks as if somebody has spent loads of money on their two hobbies wine & horses. The cellar looks as if it is 200 hundred years old but has just been built under the gardens a few years ago. We descended 20 feet down a narrow staircase into the cellar to find about 30 barrels each containing 600 litres of last years vintage wine. The owners have also 13 Austrian horses bred for dressage and the arena they show them off in is just beautiful and can be laid with a special floor to seat 600 people at a wedding. The Chateu is used about 20 times a year for what must be very posh expensive weddings.
