François Le Menac'h – oenographe@Saumur 6th-8th October

Exhibition of François Le Menac'h@Hotel de la Ville de Saumur

François Le Menac'h was one of the artists involved in last weekend's Bourgueillothérapie 2012, organised by Café de la Promenade . He paints with wine, so is an oenographe. The painting he produced last Sunday was of the president of the Cave de Bourgueil created with a bottle of Cornelius 2010. There will be an exhibition of François' work in Saumur between 5th and 7th October.
