2017 Les Bios Jours, Abbaye de Bourgueil + 2017 Pique-Nique chez les Vignerons


Bio Jours 17
2017 Les Bios Jours, Abbaye de Bourgueil I spent Sunday morning at Les Bios Jours – an opportunity to taste wines from some 56 Loire organic vignerons. It was a convivial and relaxed occasion with time to taste some of the wines and take some photos before we headed off to Azay-le-Rideau and Château d'Aulée for Pique-Nique chez les Vignerons.
