Pique Russe

Im so happy I did this tour and tasting and Im sure you will be so too, if you book it! The host Cyrille was very good at explaining alot about everything from growing the grapes, to producing the wine, and was answering all my questions with great passion. His English is perfect and flawless, making the experience perfect for a non french speaker like me. I loved everything from the tour of the winelots to the explanation in the cellar about production to the tasing experience. He has some really tasty and unique wines that i also really enjoyed! 10/10 would definitely recommend this tour!

Attended Pique Russe with some friends while on holiday. We had an amazing experience, thanks to Cyrille who was happy to answer our endless questions! After seeing how the wine was made and stored, we got onto the tasting which was brilliant. We then went to the vineyard to see the different crops and even got to see some maintenance of the vines! We then headed back to the cellar to continue the wine tasting and obviously purchased some wine for dinners while on holiday. I couldn't recommend this tour and tasting any more, I will definitely be back with family!

On a passé avec Cyrille un pure moment d'authenticité avec un passionné du métier de la vigne. Les vins du pic russe sont de bonne qualité et les échanges avec Cyrille super intéressant. A faire entre ami et amoureux des bonnes choses

It was a fantastic experience. The host was very knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. We firstly got to explore his vineyard before a tour round his winery. We were taught about his wine making process, which finished off with tasting a number of beautiful wines! I would highly recommend this experience to anybody in the area. Such a great find at a fantastic price!

This tour and tasting is a great little find, somewhat off the beaten track. There were 6 of us, and started with a tour of Yves’ vines and the history of his brand, all very interesting. We went back to his distillery for an explanation of how his wine is made and the different ‘blends’. This was followed into his ‘cave’ for a tasting session. We tried all of his wines. We were a little sceptical of Charentais Wines, but these surpassed all that we have tried before! Needless to say we left with a few cases! Yves is very knowledgeable and charismatic, and a great host. We will definitely be recommending this to all our friends and guests staying at our gites.

Enchantée de cette visite. Nous avons appris plein de choses dans les vignes et dans le chai. Léo nous a présenté le domaine avec passion, pédagogie et générosité. Ce serait une joie de revenir à l'autonome pour participer aux vendanges.

We really enjoyed our visit and tasting and the enthusiasm and knowledge of organic wine production and personal touch. We look forward to enjoying the wine we bought and returning to replenish our stocks!

Tout s'est super bien passé. Après un joli accueil, nous avons eu toutes les explications nécessaires lors de la dégustation, et sommes repartis avec quelques bouteilles même si on ne vient pas d'ici. On recommande !

This visit was part of our wine tour in the Charente and Charente Maritime. We were greeted by the owner, Pierre Sins who made us feel extremely welcome and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this small, rustic vineyard. We spent some time understanding the background to the vineyard and the processes involved- extremely informative! The wines we sampled were excellent and testament to the understanding and care of the owner to the concepts required to produce good quality wine in the Charente. Cannot recommend a visit highly enough and we shall certainly be purchasing more wine in the future!
