Just back from 3 lovely days in the Côtes. Hillside walks, alfresco lunches, darkened cellars and playing boulle. We had luck with the weather despite some occasionally threatening cloud. Some very nice wines were drunk along the way and I may add the first of those notes tomorrow – assuming I have the typing time. In the meantime I’ll leave you with a few recently published articles and a small gallery of shots from a Friday evening walk on the hill of Corton.
