Cucugnan in the southern Corbières (above and below)
Lovely photos - takes me back to 2005 when I did a 'stage' in Maury, green harvesting. There was a beautiful fresh water pool in Maury at the foot of the hills which made it all worthwhile. Stunning landscapes, hidden vineyards, rugged. A lovely reminder.
Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteI was looking at that same view over Cucugnan two months ago when visiting our friends who live at Cassagnes. Such a beautiful region.
Thanks Jean. It is a stunning region.
ReplyDeleteMaury wines have that extra special appeal for me.
ReplyDeleteLong live the memory of Le Vigneron!
