Roussillon
Eden must look like these Roussillon winelands, unforgiving for the winegrowers who scale up and down the dried-out hillsides yet revealing majestic landscapes and, let’s not forget, hugely complex wines that make you feel clever just sniffing them!

Pomerol
This tiny area, which covers just over seven square kilometers, is home to some of the most glamorous, rich and elegant red wines in the world.

Limoux – Cabardès
Close to the dividing line between oceans separating the Atlantic side from the Mediterranean, there’s a spot where Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rhone grape varieties live side by side. Portrait of a grape-growing Eden.

Chablis
Pale and comforting, emulated the world over, Chablis is made only in one place, two hours outside of Paris. Unique soil, for a unique wine.

Volnay
To really appreciate the layers of rock, stone and earth which lie across the hillsides of the village of Volnay, try jogging up the hill from Beaune as I did on my first visit to the village many years ago!

Pouilly Fumé and Sancerre
The Loire is France’s longest river, and the vineyards of Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé observe one another from either side of its half-way mark, quite close to the geographical centre of the country.

St. Julien
Lying about forty kilometres noth-north-west of the city of Bordeaux, on the banks of the Gironde estuary, St. Julien is the smallest of the four famous appellations that harbour almost all of the classified growths on Bordeaux’ left bank.
