(Season 9 Episode 5)

In Season 9 we are detouring from Australia and heading to France. 

The Languedoc-Roussillon region is along the coastline in the south of France.

My guests, Neil and Amanda live in Alet-Les-Bains in Limoux region, in between Toulouse and Montpellier near Carcassonne. They have a cottage for rent at www.ourfrenchholiday.com (and Instagram @ourfrenchholiday).

Neil and Amanda share stories of life in the village and how Dom Perignon lived here as a monk and founded the technique to make sparkling before moving to Champagne. The region is known for its sparkling wine - Blanquett de Limoux, reds from Maury and Boutenac Corbieres, and unusual varieties (including white wine, Bouboulenc).
