Chateau de la Clapiere/Chateau de L'Aumerade, Provence

Up early for a big wine-day. 
Breakfast with Monsieur Fab. His right hand man Romain then proceeded to take us on an extensive and detailed tour of the Chateau de la Clapiere grounds.

Answer:

B. Seperate VIP guest chambres for Elton John.


C. A huge boutique selling everything from wine to the chairs Jennifer Lopez used on her last tour. (really).


D. A limited edition vintage- produced in conjunction with an Italian diamond company.  18,000€  bottle.
