Bordeaux is the land of roses and red wine - heaven whichever way you
go! But some seriously beautiful roses and I am picking fresh bunches
for our Gite at Chateau Coulon Laurensac www.clbx.com.
- a sensational place owned by Margaret and Ronald Rens from the Netherlands. This 18th century Chateau built in 1790 sits on the river Garonne and across from the city of Bordeaux. We have been out Chateau ogling to the Medoc that has the wineries that this region is so incredible famous for. We also visited the region of Sauternes for the sweet white wines. Apparently the rockier the soils and the tougher they are to grow produces the best grapes when the fruit has to struggle it becomes stronger in flavour! Sounds like like life in general!
