Yesterday friends Gaynor &Tim had organised a visit over to the vineyards of Renaud Desbourdes at 'Domaine de la Marinières' near Panzoult,15 minutes east of Chinon. The visit included a tour of the vines in English by the son of the owner followed by a generous tasting and then a picnic lunch which had been contributed by everyone.This of course was washed down by complimentary wine from estate.
What started out as a rather dreich day when we might have considered abandoning the visit had we been on our own turned out to be a splendid afternoon and one not to be missed.
