HRH Queen Elizabeth when visiting Cordes sur Ciel was served wine chosen from the domain de la Chanade.
I feel privileged and complimented to have been asked to photograph this season’s production of wines at the Famous domain de la Chanade.
Actually, a story for another time maybe, I first met the owner, Christian, in a Gaillac supermarket when we where both buying fruit and veggies
The ‘Rose’ city, Toulouse, a long drive from Brittany, worth it, the South West is like another world and warm to hot dry weather here. Lunch with Lilly Malek. We have been friends for a decade or more. It’s not a ‘romantic’ relationship in the ‘passionate’ sense. Rather two who live mostly alone, people from … Read more

What did you do today?
Today I revisited Castel de Brames near Gaillac.
“Ces images sont un vrai cadeau de Noël, et sous le sapin de Noël …” ~ meaning ?
Thus the story of my day begins to unfold …
For years the proprietor, Alain Boullenger has invited local artists to create a design for his wine bottle labels.
He has a collection of the bottles.
Alain had not asked me for a wine label design.
When I tentatively mentioned this he said he asked local artists but could not ask a “great artist“.
I was nonplussed.
Castel de Brames, I re sampled the wines very recently and have just updated my website page https://artfrickers.com/s-w-france/gaillac/castel-de-brames/, sample and enjoy !
I genuinely thought the wines 2017 and 18 vintages are the best yet and notice their price has doubled to around 8 Euros a bottle; good.
That can only help the value of my painting !
A merry evening !
