In the Medoc!

Medoc, Pauillac, St Estephe… famous picturesque wine Villages, some of the most celebrated wines in the world ?

My task is to find the most attractive aspects of the villages, an artist’s perspective for exhibition and a book.  Pauillac_Quai_general_view_IMG_6801_wp.JPGThe Medoc at first viewing does not generaly look exceptional as you can see from the photo here of Pauillac Quai.

However…

I have learnt much and had many surprises while I look beyond the most obvious surface of The Medoc. La_Gironde__sunrise_IMG_6714_wp.JPG  If one asks the right questions in the right places and one takes the time to really look… St_Estephe_IMG_6862_wp.JPG

Among other things I’m learning about tourism, the ariel Post, the wind of change in the Medoc, the Dutch and English influences, property prices, transatlantic shipping and some of the ancient histotries…

At present my time online is very limited while I’m traveling so more will follow on this blog soon together with surprises and exceptional photos in August after I’m back at CdM and my principal studio.

For the moment I guard my hard won discoveries just as The Medoc tends to hide it’s true beauties.  La_Gironde__moon_rise_IMG_6891_wp.JPG
