...without expecting a reply. After all, it was sent to "info@...."

>>> Dear Philippe Hermouet,

A little note of encouragement in your art, and to say that I am enjoying
Clos du Roy here in Tennessee, USA! There are many bottles in our cellar
now. Thank you for the care you take in your vintages. I am always in awe
that bottles from your 22-hectare property have made it all this way
across the globe to my farm, and are at rest for my future
enjoyment. Fronsac is my favorite appellation, and your efforts have
taught my palette more about it.

It is an honor to enjoy your work so thoroughly. <<<

But lo and behold, along came this...

>>> Hello,

It is with great pleasure that I read your message. These words touch us directly and encourage us in our profession. We make wine that expresses our terroir and our personality but also for the pleasure of those who taste it.

Thank you in turn for taking care of our bottles in your Tennessee cellar and for enjoying them with the pleasure it deserve!

If you ever have the opportunity to come to France and Bordeaux, you will be welcome to visit us.

I wish you beautiful evenings with the view of your farm and a glass of Fronsac.

All the best,

Philippe Hermouet <<<

Such a surprise! I am still smiling.
