Pierre Pichot (right) with Gérard Vallée (Saint-Nicolas-de-Bougueil) during the Cab Franc Ambassadors evening in O Bistro, February 2009Pierre Pichot, export manager at InterLoire, is leaving the organisation in September to open an oyster bar in Les Halles in October. The move is not a total surprise as Pierre's family run the Les Parcs St. Kerber / Les Viviers d'Armor, who are reputed for their oysters. During the Cabernet Franc Ambassadors tasting in Paris, we had a tasting of them at Les Comédiens – they were so good that I shamefully neglected to make proper notes on the three different types of oyster we tried. Not sure whether you will be able to order a 'pichot' a of wine!
