Roussillon: strange goings-on in Maury, featuring Department 66...

Latest article: "Relentless Roussillon: strange goings-on in Maury..." Featuring Department 66 ("the Americans" = Dave Phinney, pictured, from www.orinswift.com), La Borde Vieille ("the Mexicans"), Les Enfants ("the Swiss"), oh... "the English" (Jones, Bee, Pertuisane...) and "French" too (Deveza, Mudigliza, Petite Baigneuse, Serre Romani...). Taster:
"There's nothing new about a high-profile "outsider investment" story round these parts: Calvet-Thunevin's stark statement winery fashioned from blocks of orange Gard stone was the boldest testament to this up until now, and has somewhat altered the view on the way into town..."

Department 66
As I said, read my fascinating article "Strange goings-on in Maury" for a bit of background (link at the top). Tasting notes to follow when the wines are ready and I go there again...
Route de Cucugnan, 66460 Maury.
