As our travels take us closer to the West coast we passed through Bordeaux and then onto Pauillac the home of La Tour and Lynch Badge wines. Unbelievably we can actually see La Tour from our campsite. We parked up the van in on our pitch and headed over the road and walked up the vineyard road of La Tour and was amazed to see the famed horses of La tour ploughing the narrow gauges between the vines...Amazing. Now you know why it costs so so much.
Now I know the terroir of the region is stony and sandy but again I was truly amazed at how stony it actually is.
Phil and Harley at Chateaux La Tour.
We then headed towards Lynch Badges and the small village that surrounds the chateaux and again all within walking distance of the Campsite....Tomorrow is lunch and a wine tasting at this legendary vineyard but no more cheese please..............
don't knock it - what I would have given for a piece of French cheese during our year in South America!!!!
