Chablis and Champagne (and Irancy)

I just thought I’d throw in a couple of ‘Aire’ photo’s from the last 2 days.  This one is the aire at Crevant…...

and this one is the aire in Chaource (where the cheese is made) where we stayed last night.

The journey from Crevant to Avize turned out to be an expensive one!  We stopped in Irancy and ended up buying a few bottles of Red Burgundy and a bottle of Ratifia, then in Chablis we found some lovely 2009 Petit Chablis 2009 on offer (6 for 4!) and could not resist buying a couple of boxes along with a very special Chablis ‘Grand Cru’ 2009.  As if that lot was not enough we stopped in our favourite Champagne House and bought a few bottles for those ‘special occasions’.  Now then, when I say ‘favourite’ I really mean the same one we called in to last year (sounds good tho’).

 

On the journey today Wolfy passed the 20000 miles mark…..

And then a few miles down the road we came across this lot! Weird!!  (you need to look closely)

This is where we bought the Champagne…..

I featured a few photo’s of the Champagne Museum that is owned by Launois Pére in last years French blog so no need to post anymore here….
