Swapping sunny London for torrential Languedoc

Arnaud Bergasse, Château Viranel

Left bright, sunny London for stormy Saint-Chinian yesterday. Here it rained heavily all last night accompanied by high winds. It still has not abated.

Last night at Château les Carrasses we had a tasting dinner with Arnaud Bergasse (Château Viranel), Xavier de Franssu (Mas de Cynarque), Didier from the Cave de Berlou and Nelly Belot, director of Saint-Chinian.
