“I grew up in Amboise, and, all my life, always remembered the divine beverage of this beautiful city, so dear to my heart”. King François I surely knew about the pleasures of life and appreciated the fruits of the local terroir. No matter white, red or rosé, still, sparkling or fine bulles, the divine nectar, so often chanted by Rabelais still enchants today the people’s meals.
