Laurent Saillard's new life

Laurent (left) during the harvest last September@Le Clos Roche Blanche

Fascinating account on Bertrand Celce's fine wine terroirs blog of Laurent Saillard's new life in the vineyards of the Cher Valley. Laurent used to be a restaurateur in New York and last year gave that life up to become a vigneron in Touraine. I met Laurent briefly last September during the harvest at the Clos Roche Blanche.
