An early-ish start this morning as I had an appointment in the Côte Chalonnaise at 9:00am. All the way from Beaune, Mont Blanc was in silhouette as the sun was rising behind – if I’d had a longer lens with me, my picture would have looked closer and better – next time! In the ‘jargon’ this is a ‘100% crop’ from my image…

Anyway, visited a couple of Châteaux or three, had a nice lunch in virtually the only place that was open today – still, it was tasty enough and only €21 for the 3 courses. I then headed back to Beaune for a 3:00pm tasting, mooched around Athenaeum and picked up some wines I’d ordered (of-course!).

And wasn’t Beaune rather pretty in the early evening…

Agree? Disagree? Anything you'd like to add?
