Back in the Loire – briefly

Domaine de la Grange Crémant de Loire
We are back in the Loire for a brief overnight stay before heading down to Lozère for the weekend. Invited round to dinner by friends we started the evening with the attractively lemony and easy drinking Crémant de Loire from Domaine de la Grange in Bléré, which is a blend of Chenin and Chardonnay.

Last evening there was a fairly spectacular sunset, although the camera rather exaggerates here both the contrast and intensity of the colours.
