Elle a su nous éclairer sur les méthodes de production du Champagne avec grand plaisir.
Merci à toute l'équipe pour leur accueil chaleureux.
Nous reviendrons bien évidemment !
Nous sommes venus en famille et certains de loin pour cette visite que nous avons grandement appréciée. La dégustation à la fin fut parfaite. Nous avons passé un super moment en sa compagnie !
Cependant, nous gardons un goût très amer d’un moment en particulier. En effet, lorsque la manager (qui accompagnait Iliana) se permet un « elle va fermer sa g* celle la ? » puis « oups on m’a entendue » en gloussant lorsque nous posions des questions sur la vinification, on s’en serait grandement passés. Manque de professionnalisme évident. Vraiment dommage.
