点评:When in Ay… visiting Bollinger to purchase champagne from their boutique seemed like a good idea. It was not. We checked the opening times online and arrived an hour after it opened. Walking into the courtyard a woman came running out from the building to the right, yelling at us for walking into the courtyard. We needed to come with her. Politely we did as instructed. Inside, we were asked something in French and we apologised for not speaking any French. We asked to visit the shop, as we wanted to buy champagne and that we thought it would be open. In ten minutes, she replied. No smile, no explanation offered.
After 10-15 minutes spent on a bench, we were taken to the other side of the courtyard, the female staff member now appearing more like a prison guard. We were let into a dark room with a large table and a few bottles on display. Another female staff member appeared, with her smile upside down, but left again when we disclosed we didn’t speak any French.
We had a look at the 10 bottles on display, alongside a few Bollinger souvenirs (bottle opener, keychain etc), before quietly and sadly very disappointed leaving the property.
It’s certainly is a beautiful house, which makes an impressive first impression. But with no warm welcome, no staff who seemed to enjoy their job and certainly no shop to taste or buy their champagne, our excitement evaporated.
Bollinger has always been a favourite and go to brand. After this experience? Not any more!
翻译:在艾……去Bollinger精品店买香槟,感觉是个不错的主意。但事实并非如此。我们在网上查了营业时间,结果到的时候已经晚了1个小时。走进院子,一个女人从右边的楼里跑出来,冲我们大喊大叫,说我们别走进院子。我们礼貌地照做了。进去后,店员用法语问了我们一些问题,我们为自己不会说法语而道歉。我们要求去店里看看,因为我们想买香槟,而且我们觉得店里应该会开门。她回答说,10分钟后就开门了。没有笑容,也没有解释。
在长椅上坐了10到15分钟后,我们被带到了院子的另一边,那位女店员现在看起来更像个狱警。我们被带进一个昏暗的房间,里面有一张大桌子,摆放着几瓶香槟。另一位女店员出现了,笑容倒挂,但当我们表示不会说法语后,她就离开了。
我们看了展出的10瓶香槟,以及一些堡林爵香槟的纪念品(开瓶器、钥匙扣等等),然后静静地,带着一丝失望离开了。
这房子确实很漂亮,给人留下了深刻的第一印象。但是,这里没有热情的接待,没有看起来热爱工作的员工,当然也没有可以品尝或购买香槟的商店,我们的兴奋感瞬间消失了。
堡林爵一直是我们最喜爱和最常光顾的品牌。这次体验之后?就不一样了!
