Les Affranchis - professional tasting event
This was one of these well-sized professional tastings that I like : small enough, relaxed and friendly tasting with nonetheless very beautiful wines to sample. I still couldn't attend but for an hour or two,

after work, and with the

well-timed tip of Kenji and Mae who called to tell that we could meet there or afterwards for a glass. The entry fee was 8 € for which you wer given a nice glass that you could keep afterwards.
The event was organized by Laeticia Laure who until recently had been working for the AVN.
The tasting event, which should come back every year at about the same time is named
Les Affranchis, with as subtitle "35 Vignerons de Loire à Paris !". Enough to compell you to make a visit, especially if you know that all these wines are made from organic grapes and go through the cellar uncorrected. I knew of course a few of the vintners there but I still had to know better some of them :
