Johan partage sa passion avec authenticité. Voir des fûts entièrement façonnés à la main, avec des gestes précis et des outils traditionnels, est une belle découverte. La visite est à la fois vivante, interactive (on peut manipuler certains outils) et jalonnée d'anecdotes historiques sur le bois. Nos enfants ont adoré.
Pour couronner le tout, la dégustation finale permet de comprendre concrètement l'impact de son travail sur le champagne.
