I was shocked to discover this morning that Thierry Manoncourt of Château Figeac died on Friday at home aged 92 – just short of his 93rd birthday. Shocked because I visited Figeac on 19th August to interview Eric d'Aramon concentrating on the handing on of knowledge and tradition from Thierry Manoncourt to him. My condolences to the family.

I didn’t know what to make of the THIRD LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS, which would end your sufferings. This sad item of news by Jim provides me with an answer. It concerns the entropy of a very respectable man, aged 93, and declares: “It will be impossible to cool the memory we’ll all keep of him to exactly absolute zero, ever.”
Sad. I seem to remember Chris Kissick and yourself mentioned the name from time to time.
