The wineries of the Cote de Chalon, along the cycle path, are wonderful places.
You sense them several hundred metres beforehand as a wonderful bouquet greets you. You can detect raspberries, blackcurrant and perhaps a hint of grapefruit, with a low distant rumble of chocolate notes.
When you arrive, the place is a full-bodied production unit with robust tanks, a hearty warehouse and big trucks softened by the delicate decoration of the obligatory on-site wine shop.
And as you leave the aroma remains, providing a satisfying finish.
Shame I never got to try any.
