Vineyard

Another photograph taken yesterday at the Château de Cancerilles winery. The domain is very old; the original wine cellars were built by monks more than 900 years ago. The main building was added to over time but began to fall into disrepair in the 19th century. The current owners bought the property including some 100 hectares (about 247 acres) of land in 1989; they did a great job restoring the château and began producing an excellent wine. Their Fleur de vigne rosé is spectacular, and the late harvest L’enfant du château is a naturally sweet dessert rosé that also goes exceptionally well with foie gras. The domain has a web site that is, for now, available in French only, though an English translation is in the works.
