on Sunday 14th@Bourgueil
... but what's the wine?
Bourgueillothérapie is a
unique event blending wine tasting with art based around the appellations of
Bourgueil and Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil. It is organised by Ludo and Sophie
Ragot of Café de la Promenade in Bourgueil with Sébastien David (Domaine
Sébastien David).
Over the weekend the artists create works of art – pictures, sculptures etc, while based with a vigneron or group of vignerons. These are then auctioned off for charity on the Sunday afternoon. Each year the proceeds go to a different charity. This year it is La Croix Rouge (The Red Cross).

Programme:
Saturday 13th
September
The artists set themselves up with their vignerons and start work. This year there is a change instead of having each producer host an artist, the producers and their artists will be grouped together. There will be four zones: Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil, Restigné, the east of the appellation and Café de la Promenade for the vignerons invited from other Loire appellations.
This new arrangement will mean less driving for those wanting to visit the artists in situ and also less chance of getting lost. In the past some of the venues were not very well signposted.
Samedi 13 sept : les artistes s’installent avec les vignerons dans quatre zones de dégustation dans le vignoble (afin d’éviter de perdre des promeneurs en route et afin de raccourcir le circuit).
A Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil : Gérald Vallée, Sébastien David, Fréderic Mabileau, Les Vallettes, Xavier Amirault, Les frères Boisard, Laurent Herlin
A Restigné : Domaine de la Chevalerie, Domaine Pierre et Catherine Breton, Domaine Georget , Domaine du Rochouard, Pierre Borel, Galbrun.
A l’est de l’appellation : Château Minière, Xavier Courant et Les Frères Nau
A La Promenade : les invités hors appellation : Loic Terquem, Romain Guiberteau, Pascal Lambert, La Source du Ruault, Gérad Marula, Wilfrid Rousse, Antoine Sanzay et Vini Be Good.
Details of the three first three venues to come.
Dimanche 14 sept : 10 h dégustation sous les halles de Bourgueil puis cochon de lait à la broche à 13 h et dans la foulée à 15 h la vente aux enchères . Cette année les bénéfices seront donnés à la Croix Rouge.
Le jury sera parrainé par Jean-François Carmet
Even though July is not yet over we already have one piece of art ready to be auctioned – a new shirt for Jim.
