Salon des Vins de Loire 2012: tastings 4.2.2012
The Hotel du Mail, Angers – our traditional base
A good day's tasting yesterday: we started with Jean-Hubert Lebreton at Domaine des Rochelles and then onto Domaine Richou with Didier and Damien Richou. The star of the morning's tastings were the 2010 sweet wines – both domaines are in the Coteaux de L'Aubance. Then it was back to Angers to collect Chris Kissack (The Wine Doctor) before heading out for a collective tasting at the Domaine de la Bergerie with Vincent and Catherine Ogereau (Domaine Ogereau), Château Pierre-Bise (Claude and Joëlle Papin) and Domaine de la Bergerie (Yves and Marie-Annick Guégniard). This was followed by a great dinner@La Table de la Bergerie, which is attached to the domaine and is run by their son in law – David Guitton. (This will be covered in another post.)
