June 2015 - A Race between the Vines

It is early June and the Ecurie Jacques Couer bring the Course de Cote "circus" to Sancerre.   Starting in Menetreol-sous-Sancerre the course winds its way up through the vines past Joseph Mellot's winery towards the hilltop town of Sancerre.

It is June in Sancerre and the hay has been harvested but the vines and walnut trees still have a few months to go. 
But I must leave by beloved Sancerre for a wile for California and the Napa valley.  See the next post.
