My friend and I made our way on our own, by bus. The walk wasn't too long but we weren't exactly sure where we were going. The grounds are lovely, the house is incredible although it is more like faded grandeur. Wine tastings available too. Definitely worth it if you are in Montpellier. More

We were a large group of 48 wine students and staff from Brighton University in Sussex, England. We were warmly welcomed by Mme Jozwyk and then treated to a wonderfully informative and 'personal' tour of the Chateau by the current owners son, Pierre de Colbert. This cultural 'tour de force' was followed by a technical visit to the vineyard and... More

The minute I walked through the entrance to the courtyard of the Chateau, I wanted to live there. Madeleine, our tour guide, warmly greeted us and explained the schedule for the tour of the Chateau, the gardens, wine tasting and Restaurant Folia, for lunch. In addition to the welcoming accessibility of the owners, M. and Mme. de Colbert, Madeleine was... More

The gardens at Flaugergues are fascinating and charming, as are the people who work there. We really enjoyed the warm welcome that we received, and the guided tour around the chateau by Henri de Colbert himself! my favourite part i must admit was the wine tasting and being told about the wines, i'm no expert but it gave me an...

Today we (students) organized a forum in this beautiful domain in Montpellier. We can do more than greet the De Colbert Family who for three months now is helping us in this project. They hosted us in their gardens, make us taste their delicious wines, share with us their own experience as wine makers. I enjoyed to be part of... More

We were there in the summer of 2006 and toured the chateaux and attended a wine tasting. The owner of the chateau was a bit eccentric, and gave an interesting tour of the beautiful historic house. The wine tasting was a bit too structured, however, in that groups of about 40 people were herded into a tasting room where we... More
