The Zéro version of Bouvet's Cuvée Tresor
– blend of Chenin and Chardonnay: very good the Zéro dosage works well
Made a good apéro
This is a post celebrating two excellent lunches: the first on Friday 10th February at La Route du Sel (Le Thoureil) and then on Tuesday 14th at Vincent le Cuisinier (Ingrandes de Touraine).
