Wine Tasting Soirée - le 3ème retour

This week we were delighted to welcome Mark & Jeremy back to 'La Bellevue' - leurs 3ème retour - for an extensive wine tasting hosted by Gérald. Dinner followed, as did some typically French cuisine !!

Sat outside in the afternoons sun the setting couldn't have been more idyllic for une dégustation of the new vintages from Domaine de la Paleine.

In addition was the introduction of other AOC appellations which provided an interesting contrast to the AOC Saumur.

As well as the unique experience of sampling a 1986 Quart de Chaume which instantly made us reflect on what we were all doing in '86...gosh, it feels so long ago !!

A word from Mark & Jeremy:

Thank you so much Sarah-Jane & Gérald! Another fabulous stay, our third year running, can you keep us away? I doubt it! Many thanks.
