Un beau jour en Beaujolais

We decided to take a trip to the Beaujolais region in a hire car to have lunch and look at some vineyards.

We followed a sign to a vineyard and, very fortunately, found it open. And within minutes we’re enjoying a private tasting.

Stephan Dupeuble let us taste some great wines

It was Chateau des Pertonnieres from Dupeuble Pere et Fils. We tried some white Beaujolais, and various reds – all made with the Gamay grape.

They were all very nice – and Has demonstrated his wine-tasting expertise.

We then went for a delicious lunch in Oingt. And headed home looking forward to some more wine tasting in the evening.

A perfect end to a lovely day
