Today we had an amazing tour of the 'Langlois Chateau' which is owned by Bollinger (Champagne). The winery was not really open but the Director took us on a personal tour. It started with a classroom session on the basics of winemaking which was great and the kids thought it was better than normal school !! We saw the whole wine making process and explored some of the tunnels/caves underneath the winery - it has around 4km of tunnels which are used to store the wine. We tasted some nice White and Sparkling wines and picked up some 2006 sparkling Cremont de Loire which we rated very high (and only 11 Euro per bottle).
Another fire tonight - pretty cold.
Will have to come back to this region....
Off to Spain tomorrow !
cheers

well after A and myself spent 48 minutes trying to work out how to post a comment, emily came along and showed me in about 2mins. Very frustrating, but now I can keep up with you. Looks like you are having a great time and the wine tour a lot of fun today. Enjoying keeping up with all you are doing.
