Maybe you could say we are too busy drinking wine to write about it - but now and then something pops up that is worth mentioning.
This time it is a visit to the Domaine de la Coste Moynier in what is now known as the commune of Entre Vignes, a picturesque new name The Moynier family bought the domaine in Saint Christol in the 70s - we have met Luc Moynier and his wife a few times over the years - and it is now run by the younger generation. The wines have always been good quality and not too expensive.

Yesterday we tasted two whites, a rosé and 4 red wines, all excellent. The whites were both mixtures of marsanne and viognier (the more expensive aged in barrels) while the reds were mixtures of syrah and grenache with, variously, carignan and mourvèdre added.
And the beautiful hilltop setting looking towards the Pic Saint Loup and the Cevennes made the whole visit even better in the beautiful sunshine.
