Summer gets underway in the Loire Valley

Summer is officially underway in the Loire Valley, I just love this time of year !

And with the long warm evenings to sit outside and enjoy the customary aperitif in, has come the demand to learn more about the Loire Valley wines.

Invited to host a weekly Wine Tasting Soirée, Gérald happy shares his knowledge of the regions wines - all welcome to join in !

AOC Tour de France 2009

This week we saw the return of wine enthusiasts Mark and Jeremy to 'La Bellevue' for the final leg of their 'AOC Appellation Tour de France 2009' .

Hosted by Gérald the early evenings Wine Tasting Soirée got underway with dégustations held in the garden and in our troglodyte caves.

Taken through an array of sparkling, white, rosé and red wines, Gérald introduced Mark and Jeremy to last years vintage and discused todays expectations for this years wines.

Wine and conversation continued over dinner which was enjoyed outside with a setting sun and spectacular view across the Loire.
