Walled gardens…

25.10.2014billn

The ‘Château’ of Bouchard Père et Fils has large walled, fenced-off gardens. You can get tantalising views as you walk their perimeter on the ring-road of Beaune.

In the summer I thought to myself – I’ll ask if I can get a tour. In the end, they just opened the gate and said – ‘help yourself!’

I’d assumed a large gardening staff were needed – and of-course that is true – but all is outsourced. The teams are here every week during the growing season. I’d love the little house with its own driveway that’s set in the gardens!

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