A fantastic welcome and an absolute must-visit! You can feel the passion and learn a lot. Tasting of Pineau and Cognac, and we leave with excellent bottles that we will no longer buy anywhere else! We also spent a quiet night there, alone… or almost, among the vines (keep your eyes open, roe deer come to walk through them). Many thanks to the very kind Bossuet family!
Spot in the middle of the vineyards. Magnificent view in the morning. Very warm and friendly welcome.
Thank you for the pleasant welcome and for the Pineau tasting. We spent a quiet night among the vines, where the children could play nearby. Very pleasant in the shade of the trees. It deserves its five stars.
We stayed two nights on this beautiful property. For larger motorhomes, you should look carefully, but it is an incredible place of peace among the vineyards, a wonderful experience. The tasting in the small old building is a must. The family is very nice and helpful, so a place like this deserves support.
Authentic welcome from this Pineau and Cognac producer. Generous and passionate tasting, excellent products! We spent a peaceful night among the vines in complete tranquility, with a magnificent sunset in the countryside. A wonderful human encounter. I highly recommend this stop and encourage people to support their work by buying their products.
We arrived at night in the rain and slept near the tanks, but received a very warm welcome with a tasting… a discovery: walnut in Cognac!! Delicious!! Toilets, water, and electricity were generously offered. Thank you very much!! I recommend the place and buying one or two bottles!!
Very nice owner, so helpful and friendly. Since the previous days had been very rainy, I parked at the farm. Otherwise, I would have loved to drive into the vineyards. After a tasting, I bought an excellent Pineau. You can even use the toilet at the farm. I would love to come back!
What can I say except that it is a somewhat unusual place! Sleeping among the vines far from the noise. The welcome is friendly and the tasting just as enjoyable. We have saved it as a favorite and will return. Thank you.
A warm welcome and a fascinating tour guided by a manager truly passionate about her profession and the history of her family heritage. We had a wonderful time in the heart of the vineyard. In the evening, we were lucky enough to admire a starry sky while roe deer peacefully crossed the rows of vines. A suspended moment… a true moment of happiness.
Pleasant site among the vineyards. Very quiet; we even saw a doe among the vines when we woke up. Great welcome and a lovely tasting.
Great! Pleasant, smiling people who love their work. We stayed for the evening; it was very pleasant. I recommend it!
Very friendly winegrower. We stopped for lunch and bought some good Pineau to drink in moderation. You can spend the night here.
What a Great Stop a very warm welcome Tour and Tasting in a fantastic location highly recommended we stayed in the Garden with the Dogs as they could wonder free in the enclosed area
Very beautiful spot! The owner explained access to the site well by phone because we arrived late. Electrical hookup possible, toilets available. Very clean. Many thanks for allowing free access.
A true paradise! We arrived and parked in front of the tanks, then the owner came to see us. We had a tasting and bought Pineau, which is very good. Then he offered us the chance to sleep among the vines, and that was the ultimate. We parked in the shade at the edge of the forest next to a long-distance trail. A truly blissful night in nature. Thank you infinitely.
Amazing we arrived late and were greeted with a smile had a cognac tasting and purchased a bottle. Then Stayed the night in the vineyards extremely quiet and amazing stargazing on a clear night! Would go back!
Almost left disappointed—geolocation led us to a dull parking spot near machinery. But the welcoming owners turned it around with a great product tasting, a fantastic shop, and a map of beautiful wildcamp spots on their nearby properties. We stayed near the vineyard—breathtaking views, peaceful night!
Beautiful, peaceful place. Very friendly welcome. We tasted Pineau and Cognac. It would be a shame to pass by this place without stopping.
It is possible to sleep among the vines. It is truly magnificent. A tour of the cellars and the still used to distill Cognac added a remarkable touch to this stop. Highly recommended.
A quick one night stop for us but a lovely park up amongst the vines. We had a warm welcome and were given a map to show all the places we could park around the vineyard. Very quiet. The shop was closed so we couldn’t buy any wine in return but the location was lovely!
Very quiet, we only stopped for a short night to carry on driving. Arrived in the dark and there was no issues. Found the toilets which were well lit. No issues, very simple. Ideal for a stop over. Pleasant walk in the morning to stretch our legs. Thank you.
A wonderful discovery with a very warm welcome. We were able to taste two white and red Pineaus and flavored Cognac liqueurs. Very good products. We bought three bottles and left with a map of the estate, where we had plenty of choices for sleeping in our van among the vines. Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the owners for this beautiful parking spot on the edge of the vineyards! Very idyllic and extremely quiet! We stayed for two nights, went jogging, and in the afternoon were able to enjoy a Cognac and Pineau tasting. Very interesting and new for us. We bought one bottle of each and will definitely recommend the estate and perhaps return.
A very good stop among the vineyards. Warm welcome from the owner, with a tasting of Pineau des Charentes, Cognac, and more for enthusiasts. It is important to support these local producers and regional places! I recommend it.
Warm welcome, tasting of Pineaus and Cognacs that we really enjoyed, and a tour of the production while the grape harvest was in full swing. We arrived a little late, but it was no problem. Thank you for this unforgettable experience.
Super-friendly welcome in good English. First a tasting, then choosing a parking spot… The Cognac, Pineau, and liqueur tasting was delicious. The parking spots are spread throughout the vineyards, and you choose for yourself. We had no electricity and did not need sanitary facilities, so we stayed farther from the farm. Very quiet. We would come back anytime. Thank you *****
Super chilled place to spend an evening. You can choose your own spot among the vineyards. Upon arrival, you can taste some of the owner's Cognac and possibly buy a nice bottle. Toilets and electricity are available near the house.
Spent a very quiet night between the vines. Beautiful landscape! For others to know: yes they have sanitary facilities but not where you will be parked. You can choose you’re spot on their huge area but water, toilets etc are at their house a few minutes walking distance away depending on where you’re parked.
A beautiful and very, very, very peaceful place. Upon arrival, the owners are very kind and, as mentioned in previous reviews, invite you to taste their liqueurs (which are excellent) without pressuring you to buy anything (the white Pineau is genuinely delicious). They let you use their vineyard locations to spend the night. Thank you for places like this. The experience is highly recommended.
Very warm welcome, lovely Pineau and Cognac tasting. Don't hesitate to go. We slept at the edge of the woods with a view of the vineyards. Great! Thank you very much.
