Finally, to make everything perfect: yum yum glou glou, buy a bottle of Hautes-Côtes from one of the many winegrowers in the village. This wine is easily drunk and its fruity notes – cherry, morello cherry, raspberry, blackcurrant, liquorice to the undergrowth with often a spicy touch – for red wine and its aromas of white flowers for white wine will surprise you.
