A wine tasting on the Côté d’Azur

It’s summertime and the Côté d’Azur is only a few comfortable days away by car from Brittany. We had our eye on a chateau in Cremat famous for its rosé wines, it’s gardens and it’s chateau. It didn’t disappoint! 

As look would have it we arrived just in time to explore not just the winery but also the chateau in the company of a tour of gastronomic students from Mexico! The chateau was charmingly furnished with some extraordinary exhibits including bedroom furniture direct from Coco Chanel:

If you are ever in the Côté d’Azur, the Chateau de Cremat is definitely worth a visit! We tasted six wines including some delicious rosé’s, Their Domain de Toasc is a powerful summer rosé with powerful undertones. Here are a few more:

It’s not all about wine or beautiful art of course. It was nice to see the current owner of the chateau had invested in the same brand of stove as we have in Kerrouet.

Well it might be just a tad bigger and a tad cleaner than ours!
