We have always had a love affair with France and for many years have spent holidays either on our old wooden sailing boat, and later a small water mill in the Auvergne region of France.

We were approaching retirement from a life time in academia and tried to find just a few vines in the Auvernge, we had become quite accustomed to the wines of this region, they have a sharp rather piquante volcanic taste, however they are not well known outside the area and certainly the wine production is not set up or organised in the way it is in Beaujolais and it is quite evident that neither us would be able to learn the ‘trade' or make superb wine with no knowledge or family heritage behind us.

We thought long and hard but kept coming back to Maison des Bulliats. We had, on second viewing of the property, met Pascal Grandjean the vigneron who we felt right from the start we could work with.

We moved in May 2005 and the trials and tribulations, the adventures will be recounted here.
