VINEYARD, GRAPES AND WINE AT CHATEAU LAGARETTE

I am visiting Olamp and Yvone Minvielle who own Chateau Lagarette a vineyard and winery situated in Bordeaux It’s going to be my first time in a Vineyard trust me I have been dreaming this day since my arrival, I just want to get my hands dirty in that vineyard (yes a few people know I have a thing for farming, just love to see things grow) and when it comes to a vineyard, why won’t I get lost in there with those Fresh grapes.

After a lovely lecture from the couple on their Bio-wine style and processes, they showed me how to harvest grapes, showed me the machines used for separating the grapes from the stems, the cellar filled with barrels of wine and of course the wine tasting session.

It was a whole day well spent at Chateau Lagarrete and I truly give it to this couple who have dedicated themselves to grow healthy grapes devoid of any form of chemicals or fertilizers, produce Bio wine regardless of the rigorous and time consuming process and bottling very quality wine with lots of Love.

And did I forget to tell you that the French just serve you wine whenever they plan to feed you? Well I tried out this recipe with red wine and it went well, Try it!
