Support gathering for Olivier Cousin on 2nd October 2013
The case was postponed until 5th March 2014
Today we leave London to head to Angers for the court appearance of Olivier Cousin on Wednesday relating to the offence of using Anjou Pur Breton on a vin de France, albeit indeed 100% Cabernet Franc and from vineyards in Anjou.

Olivier's wine for your picnic
As on 2nd October 2013 there will be a picnic in front of the court building at Place Leclerc, which will start at 12.30pm. It will be interesting to see who will be present at the picnic. It is too simple to characterise this as a struggle between small organic producers and large 'agribusiness'. At the Renaissance tasting at the end of January Philippe Delesvaux, a vice-president of the Féderation viticole Anjou-Saumur was highly critical of Olivier Cousin – "if he wanted to use the name Anjou he should remain within the appellation system. Otherwise it is fraudulent." Philippe has long been an organic producer making very fine wines.
A mercredi alors!
