A talk and tasting to celebrate the re-plantation of vines, where they once were, in the Jardins en Terrasses in Caylus, in the presence of wonderful writer, gardener and vigneron.ne Catherine Bernard.

Born in Nantes in 1963, Catherine was a journalist at La Tribune and Libération for 20 years. In 2004, with a professional diploma in viticulture and oenology in hand, she moved to the Languedoc to become a vigneron.ne - and while growing vines and making wine, she she continued to write. In 2011, she published Dans les Vignes with Editions du Rouergue, followed by Recettes de Ma Vigne in 2013 and Une Place sur Terre in 2018. In 2019, she published Ma Part des Anges in 2019 and in 2024 La Lambrusque with Les Ateliers d'Argol

With her son Nicolas, she crafts fine, balanced, rhythmical reflections an ancient terroir near Sommières: pure expressions of a place between the wild and the cultivated that she calls “La Carbonelle”. After losing a good part of her grapes due to extreme heat and drought, she decided to uproot one plot of vines and create an experimental wine garden or “vineyard orchard”. Here, she has planted vines between tree samplings and among local aromatic plants to “re-weave the links, tendril by tendril”.
