Profile: Domaine d’Ardhuy (Corgoloin)
The Domaine d’Ardhuy is very easy to miss as you speed up or down the Route Nationale 74, I think that’s because you’re just on the border between a slow and a fast strech of the road – I’m usually looking in my mirrors to see who’s planning to overtake… Read More

Wednesday September 7 – my Burgundy harvest day number 8
Oof! This was a day to remember – or better still, forget! Today we almost exclusively triaged ‘Bourgogne.’ Both our colours of Bourgogne (Bourgogne Côte d’Or) come from the same sector as our Chorey-Blanc that had been affected by hail – only here was a little worse. Our first two… Read More
