Friday 9th August - 6-8 pm Wine Launch and Exhibition 

Le Peintre de Pézenas

We are excited to announce a new collaboration with Nicholas Poullis.  Nicholas is a well known local artist who produces beautiful watercolour paintings of the local towns and surrounding landscape including Saint Hilaire !

Together with Nicholas we have created a new wine blend (our first for 3 years) which is a lightly oaked Chardonnay with a slight touch of Sauvignon Blanc.  This crisp and fruity combination is really versatile and works really well both as an aperitif and with a wide range of lighter dishes.

The wine is called "Le Peintre de Pézenas" (the painter of Pézenas) and bases its label on one of Nicholas' paintings of the famous staircase in the Lacoste Mansion in Pézenas.

To launch the new wine we will be holding a free special exhibition of Nicholas' work on Friday 9th August from 6-8pm.  Nicholas will be on hand to talk about his work and we will of course be serving his wine.
