Mark@his surprise 50th birthday party: October 2005
La Nouvelle Republique carries a profile of
Mark Robertson – gentleman rocker (aka Roberston as the NR prefers in its headline). Formerly of North London Mark and Susie moved to Epeigné-les-Bois seven years ago. Last May Mark became the first Briton to be elected onto the Epeigné-les-Bois Conseil Municipal. He and Susie have some 25 ares of vines at '
grand cru' Le Clos Chossay, making Mark the smallest
garagiste in Touraine. They had the good fortune make their first wines in 2005. Unfortunately 2008 was a very small vintage with only 15 litres of Sauvignon made – this means that Mark is well under the bar for qualifying to be part of the Sauvignon Blanc project.
'Le grand cru'
The profile explains that Mark used to be the drummer in the
seminal group,
The Meteors, founded in 1980. Mark is currently involved in arranging Epeigné's first country festival on Sunday 24th May.
