The château's long abandoned chai (wine barrel room) and pressoir (wine making room) were both crammed with an aladdin’s cave of regalia discarded over more than a century. We even came across an elegant, abandoned 19th century horse-drawn carriage.
This week we start the careful work of clearing these buildings and uncover an intriguing underground discovery.
