Our customer reviews
Un endroit parfait pour s'arrêter et déguster différents vins, je le recommande vivement....
Je tenais à remercier chaleureusement le monsieur de la cave, qui est venu me prêter assistance avec son tracteur, alors que j'étais embourbé avec mon véhicule. Nul ne peut douter que sa gentillesse ainsi que sa bonne humeur doit être la même dans son travail de vigneron. Encore merci Cdlt JM
Nous avons visité le Château de Coccinelles lors de nos vacances dans la région. Il nous avait été recommandé par notre hôte. Nous avons passé un excellent moment à découvrir et déguster leurs vins. Jean-Baptiste et son équipe ont été très accueillants avec notre groupe (dont deux enfants) et ont pris le temps de nous expliquer leur métier. Le plus important : le vin était excellent. À notre avis, aussi bon, voire meilleur, que certains vins de villages Crus du Château de Rocher que nous avons dégustés. Son rapport qualité-prix est nettement supérieur. Nous avons également été agréablement surpris par la qualité du blanc et du pétillant, car nous étions venus pour le rouge. Depuis notre retour de vacances, nous apprécions leur Cru Rouge du Château de Rocher et nous avons hâte de déguster leur Cru Rouge du Château de Rocher Villages Signargues à Noël. À recommander.
