I have been a regular visitor to these meetings since 2018, enjoying encounters with great winemakers and recognised experts. This year's programme includes: Claude and Lydia Bourguignon discussing terroirs; Sylvain Pataû’e and Pierre de Benoist sharing their passion for Aligoté; a round table on the contribution of 'cépages modestes' to reducing alcohol levels; Yves Cuilleron and his 11 'cépages modestes'; a focus on the 'cépages modestes' of Ardèche; a discovery of the Aveyron vineyard; and a look at the vineyards of Anatolie (Turkey). In short, two fascinating days. Make sure to save this weekend for next year!
