Christian Papin – 'under investigation'!


Have just come across this shot I took during this year's Salon des Vins de Loire – the redoubtable and revered wine critic, Michel Smith, interrogating the wines of Christian Papin, Domaine de Haute Perche in Saint-Melaine-sur-Aubance. Small wonder Christian looks worried!

Hervé: difficult to find the right Maigret title – perhaps 'Maigret s'amuse'?
