Thanks Nick. I haven’t tried the Contre Pied – will keep an eye out for it…

I’ve been holidaying in the region for around 30 years and only the last 5 have I been exploring the wines.
Nice to see you mention some of the more noteworthy producers.
In the last few years, there have been some newcomers focusing on organic & natural wines and small productions. Some trained at Plageoles before setting up on their own.
Plageoles’ “Contre Pied” is worth seeking out (carbonic macerated Duras)

Thanks Chris. It’s a relatively unknown region in France, at least over here in the UK. Certainly more a collection of disparate areas rather than a unified whole – makes it all the more fun to explore though.
