I’ve never put my nose up to the hole but it doesn’t smell standing next to it. Here is a chick emerging last year. They are back this year two of them taking a recky of the barrels!

We’ve spent a good few days spring cleaning and remodeling the living room at La Grande Maison. Do you like the results? #loirevalleyliving #artdevivre

F**k Tr**mp and your plastic straws! We need less single use plastics, our oceans are already awash. Vineyards too. I was alarmed to see the results of a recent mole hill in our garden. Look closely and you’ll see it’s full of mulched plastic!

What a joy to be able to say that your vermouth is produced less than 100m from you house and barrel aged in the sun too!

Gamay de Bouze Cépage Semi-Teinturier 2020 Céline & Benoit Blet at Les Terres Blanches. Reminds me of gamay from Cotes de Forez Gamay sur Volcan La Madone but it’s local from Orion. The secret is the unique terroir clays and silicas with some russet and ferrous sandstones. #vinsbio #vinsbiodynamique
