Stand on the exact spot in Chinon and you are within 10 metres in three different directions of touching Chateau Chinon, Clos de L’Echo, Domaine Charles Joguet at Caves de Silènes and the French writer Rabelais. What’s the connection? Well, Clos de L’Echo used to be owned by the Rabelais family, Domaine Charles Joguet uses an image of Rabelais on all their labels, and the rest ….. try Google or wait till my wine posts next week!
