Guarding the vines: Languedoc Vine Guardians help independent producers

Being a Languedoc Vine Guardian means you have to keep an eye on your vines. Luckily for us, at Puy Vignoble there are professionals who do it most of the time on our behalf, led by Emmanuel Puy.​

​We just came along to check the bud break on our 75-year-old carignan vines and to taste the wine from last year’s crop. A great morning out, and thank you Wendy Gedney at Vin en Vacances for organising the visit.

And because Donna was wearing a sweatshirt emblazoned with my ‘Menu from the Midi’ book cover, we got talking to one of my happy readers, Carol Bailey, who has the enviable job title of Chief Tasting Officer at Princess & Bear Wines.
