Petit foire aux vins and coals to Newcastle.

Mormoiron  had it's 'foire aux vins' yesterday,it was a quiet affair made even more so with rain in the morning. But the sun came out in the afternoon which allowed us to check out Richard's competition.

 

 This is him talking 'viticulteur vigneron' with the new owner of the small estate that was Francoise's former family home. They have changed the name to 'Domaine Les Chancel'  and are investing heavily in promoting their new wines - which are, as we found out. very palatable. We bought some of the first rosé produced on the estate, aptly named 'Le Rosé No1' which we had to accompany our evening meal last night - very nice! We sampled and bought from a few other growers - as if we need any more wine?
