Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Rives Andréa
Jean-Louis has travelled for 4 years around the world and met his wife Nola (from Australia) when traveling in Melbourne. In 1975 they decided to come back to Bordeaux to help Jean-Louis’s family with the farm at the time. Then in 1984, Jean-Louis decided to create the winery where you can now find 6 different wines (red, dry white, clairet, rosé, sweet white and sparkling wine).
It’s in 1998 that they both decided to start the adventure of receiving guests. First starting with le Magnolia, then renovating 2 houses in 2000 and le Relais in 2010. The main building which is about 400-year-old used to be a coach house where horses were changed over just before going or coming out of Bordeaux. Le Relais used to be the stables.
That’s why you will find a metal horse head on the top of its façade and on the wine label.
Their daughter Andrea (the eldest of their 3 children) who lived in Australia for 6 years came back to work with them since 2008.
It is in this family surrounding that you will be welcomed for your Bordeaux holidays.
