Foncaussade Wine - Available in Waitrose

Under the heading of "a small world"... less than 1Km from our house in Sigoules is a wine co-operative. All the local, small-hold farmers bring their grapes here and they produce a variety of wines. A lot of it is good, but their Rose is really great.



I guess it caught the attention of other wine enthusiasts recently as it is now for sale at our local Waitrose here in Portsmouth... and online.

Go and try it.. (although it is much cheaper when purchased locally!).

Visit Chateau Monbazillac

The vineyards around our house in the dordogne are primarily growing grapes for Monbazillac wine. This is a lovely sweet wine and to ensure this sweetness, the grapes are left to "rot" on the vine. This simply means that they are harvested as late as possible.

The Monbazillac wine is named for the main chateau near us - Chateau Monbazillac. It is an imposing building set on the top of a hill with beautiful views and is certainly worth a visit if you are staying at our house.












As the chateau also produces wine (of course), it has a shop and wine tasting. The actual Chateau is open to the public.

We provide a number of walks for our guests and one of them starts and ends at the Chateau. Pack a picnic and you have an excellent way to spend a day.
