The Bastille
Brooke and I spent our Sunday night eating in the 10th Arrondisimont. This is a funky neighborhood where the Bastille prison was located (monument attached). It’s now a great neighborhood of bars and shops.
Day 5 - Moutarderie Fallot, Damien O'Faubourg, and Didier Rossignol's Wine Cellar in Volnay
1) Moutarderie: We started the day taking a walking tour of the mustard factory in Beaune. It was pungent -- burned the nostrils. 2) Volnay: Potentially our most memorable time of the trip was with Sebastien's old friend, Didier Rossignol. Didier and his family have been working their plot of land for generations. Didier currently operates out of his basement, which contained a wine cellar that has been aging for decades. To top off our tasting, Didier opened up a bottle of '78 Pinot that was amazing.
