DAY
(6)
First, Damien Vache owner of the La Monardiere will present us his Vacqueyras red and white.
Our second one will be at the Domaine Les Goubert for the Cuvee Florence a truly exceptional Gigondas made by Jean-Pierre and Michelle Cartier. They are carrying this domain to the summit of quality with simple and solid principles such as low yield and ripe grapes. We will also have a taste of their Beaume-de-Venise and Sablet-Cote-du-Rhone.
Other jewel of the Cote du Rhone Rasteau will also be on today's program.
On our way back is the Roman city of Orange where we will take a walk with a guide-historian for a visit to the Roman theatre and the Arc-de-Triomphe.
Our hotel will be the Cloitre Saint Louis or the Mercure Pont d'Avignon, both located inside the walled city of Avignon, papal residence from 1305 to 1423; it will be our home for the next two nights.
Dinner at the close by, convivial and excellent "La Fourchette" restaurant.
