He confirmed what you say that they are interested in local wines and possibly natural wines, certainly the list continues with the likes of Turner Pageot and Monplezy. Reasonably priced too. Unfortunately the first two bottles of Clovallon white I ordered were corked but the lady (I've disgracefully forgotten her name) persevered and from her conversation was a wine enthusiast. Her husband cooked at Le Jardin Des Sens and there was real elegance in the cookingAlanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00020464540350211578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4632917762058918179.post-27506835788072036112012-04-13T10:12:08.755+02:002012-04-13T10:12:08.755+02:00Was chatting to some acquaintances yesterday and t...Was chatting to some acquaintances yesterday and they mentioned the Auberge du Presbytere had new owners. They said the cooking was better and confirmed the price had edged up a bit.<br />On the wine front, did you pick up that the new owners were as keen on local natural wines - several were listed when we went last June.Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11282937250538290233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4632917762058918179.post-15738125373667320692012-04-12T21:47:48.388+02:002012-04-12T21:47:48.388+02:00Good read Graham.

Just back from a week in Margon myself and another visit to Mas Coutelou and my friend Jeff in Puimisson. <br />I went to the Auberge du Presbytere and the new proprietors provided an excellent meal through Friday's stormy lunchtime weather. The menu is a touch higher priced but was a real treat. Another recommendation is Le Petit Péché in Roujan, excellent QPR and a very handy village restaurant.AlanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00020464540350211578noreply@blogger.com
