When
I was just 11 years old we were camping in Switzerland; I believe by Lake
Murten, unfortunately it was very rainy….My parents decided we should move
southwards and set on the roads to France.
It
was at a French campsite where we met a lovely old couple by the name of Frank
& Connie, they were travelling back to the UK. They told us of a place where
there was warm sunshine to be found. Apparently the clouds normally avoided this
particular area?
We
followed their instructions and ended up at a campsite by the name of Camping Le
Bregoux, found in a little French village in the Vaucluse called Aubignan. This
campsite was run by a very warm and friendly family by the name of Farrugia; we
spent many a happy year here. It was here that I learnt in the early days that
you should not drink too much wine.
I
also believe that it was Frank & Connie that introduced us to Domaine De
L’Espigouette, run by the Latour family; Edmond Latour et Fils. I began to learn
about wine, and of course wine tasting. We have continued to visit this vineyard
every year, it is now run by Bernard Latour his wife and 2 sons Julien &
Emilien.
