Winemaking the Scottish way

The historic Château de Mayragues near Gaillac is an ideal place to learn about natural wines. Biodynamic since 1999, organic since 2004, the vineyards are now run by Duncan Geddes, a second-generation Scottish winemaker (his French mother may see things differently).
Thank you, Duncan, for a fascinating discussion yesterday about your philosophy of winemaking. Because of wonderful people like you, researching my new book about the gastronomy of our region is proving much more taxing than writing about its history. All these dégustations are beginning to take their toll!
The Château de Mayragues dates from the 16th and 17th centuries and, along with its dovecote, it is classified as a historic monument. You can spend the night in the château – something I would recommend to anyone who wishes to sample all Duncan’s wines.
