4/7 I went to Les Vignerons d'Estezargues, which is a cooperative winery owned by 10 wine growers, produce Terra Vitis Cotes du Rhone, the best seller organic wine of Cave de Re-Lax.

I was showed the winery by Mr.Edoward Laffite, partner & winemaker and Mr.Denis Desckanps, partner & marketing manager.

I tasted a lot of different 2003 tank samples, are maturing now.

The vintage 2003 was outstanding ! I was very impressed at the winery, it's passion, effort and philosophy. Then I went to Chateau de Montfaucon,

the owner & winemaker Mr.Rodolphe de Pins is friend of Arnaurd, friend of mine. The Chateau is a real castle built at 11 Century, located at the border line between Roman Empire and French Public State. Now, a lord produce wine himself, it is a one of top Cotes du Rhone wines. I had a beautiful lunch with the lord, the mother of lord and Arnaud.

There are a lot of treasures surround us, which should be at museum.

Then I went to Arnaud's house through the vineyard of Chateau Nuf-Du-Pape

to have a dinner.

Paul, the owner of Chateau Pesquie, and his family joined us for the dinner.

The dinner was so wonderful. We had a very-very-very nice food & wine, and had a lot of amazing shining stars ! More Picture >>Extra
