La Promenade, Bourgueil: the first anniversary

Grapes@the roundabout at the western end of Bourgueil + its vineyards

La Nouvelle République has an article on the first anniversary of La Promenade in Bourgueil, which is a café, a bar à vins and also an hotel with five bedrooms. 

'La Promenade a rouvert ses portes en mai dernier : Ludovic et Sophie Ragot ont redonné vie à ce café qui était fermé depuis une quinzaine d'années. Et quelle vie !

« On a acheté en 2008 : on a eu près d'un an de travaux avant de pouvoir ouvrir », se rappelle Ludovic qui est originaire de la région (ses parents ont longtemps habité à Varennes-sur-Loire).'

And very good it is. We ate there recently - the best charcuterie we've had in ages and delicious rabbit rillettes. Can highly recommend it. And to be able to buy wines at cellar door price plus 8 Euros is such a great opportunity to drink something above average.

I have yet to try it. Hopefully before the second anniversary.
