A beautiful tower of the estate and the excellent garden as well as the circular cellars were impressive.
The fermentation vats in use are made of oak.
The cellar was round shaped and beautiful. It was also said that it was acoustically so fine that sometimes concerts were held in it.
Tasted Lafite 1997 and the second wine 1997.(Carruade de Lafite)

He said "Absolutely not, as I don't produce wine for them."
