Vineyards as far as the eye can see



Yesterday we went for a wonderful drive amongst the vineyards around the Maconnais hills. We tasted the wine of five terroirs at the Atrium at Solutré, which is a kind of co-op for the Pouilly, Fuissé, Vergisson, Chaintré, and Solutré wines. All Chardonnay white, very good quality. Needless to say, we did a bit of shopping, to be enjoyed at a later date.

Hi Jean so wonderful to read your blog, and have the photos too. Every time we find ourselves looking for a bottle of wine we check what's available in 2009 and think of you and John! It does seem 2009 was a great year. All the best.. I'm looking forward to staying in touch via your blog. Lesley
