I settled in the south of France a few years ago, after a varied career, particularly abroad. Narbonne is where two seas meet : the Grande Bleue, sung by Charles Trenet, the local boy, and a sea of vines that has shaped the landscapes, traditions and spirit of freedom that the troubadours were already singing about in the Middle Ages. I was delighted to discover these two horizons, understanding why the Romans established their first colony in Gaul at this strategic crossroads and how wine has been at the heart of the local heritage since the beginning of our era.

Each wine bears the imprint of its terroir and the personality of the winemaker who makes it. It expresses the cultural identity of the region just as much as it reveals the identity of the plot where the generous bunches of grapes with pretty names like bourboulenc, maccabeu, carignan or piquepoul have matured.
Every vine and every wine has a story to tell, and that's the mission of Vitis Fabula.

I'd like to share with you :
- The knowledge I've gained from travelling the length and breadth of my adopted region, in books and from listening to local scholars...
- My amazement at the buds bursting open, the juicy grapes changing colour, the age-old gestures of the harvesting hand...
- My appetite for all the local delicacies that are an integral part of the region's quality of life - I'm an epicurean in every sense of the word, as you'll have gathered by now...
- And the emotion that comes from tasting: the perception of aromas, the sensation of flavours, the revelation of the artistic talent of the blender, create memories, like poetry learned in childhood, engraved forever in our memory.

I'd like to share all this with you, because the experiences I'm proposing around vines, wine and the history of the Narbonnais region celebrate the art of living in the Languedoc and the art of simply being together.

So, are you ready to follow your guide ? Are you ready for a cultural, sensory and human adventure ?
