Our introduction to rural Bordeaux began in Langon, just 6km away from our village of Barsac. The Langon Cheese and Wine Festival was a real treat. And sharing the day with Carla, Tom, Michelle, Mark and the two girls made it even more special. Within minutes of entering the grounds we'd tasted and purchased incredible cheeses, wines from Burgundy and all kinds of local treats. We spent most of our time ensconced at the oyster tent. Bliss.
With enough supplies for the next few days, we all made our way back to Chateau Dudon to find our 'gite'. It is just great. Set beside the Chateau, within the walled grounds, the gite is in the same set of buildings as the winery and cellar, where they produce small amounts of delicious Sauternes.
The kids spent all their time in the cubby house and we spent all our time under the walnut tree. It is really hot. And it's beautiful.
