The visit is on one level, and the store is also easily accessible. The official website indicates that the entire course is suitable for people with reduced mobility.<br\/>If you're claustrophobic, the circuit is underground for 45min to 1h, with no view of the outside. It's also 12\u00b0C all year round on the entire route, the ideal temperature for aging wines, so remember to bring appropriate clothing to keep out the cold.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image
