Bordeaux Amazons

Château de L’Hurbe 2005, a wine by Agnés Bousseau

They call themselves the Bordeaux Amazons, and indeed, they can well be described as the female warriors of that wine region. Five women from the Cubzaguais, a little wine area between Côtes de Bourg and Fronsac, got together to help each other market their wines. In between, they visited India. Agnés Bousseau (Château de L’Hurbe), Claudine Rozier (Château des Arras), Cécile Thirouin (Château L’insoumise), Florence Prud’homme (Château Saincrit) and Hélène Fenouillet (Château La Gatte) made for a very different group of travelling winemakers!

    . Disappointment @Crompton_India. I bought a wall fan for kitchen HighSpeed Torpedo 400mm Sept 2024 (in warranty) which snapped one day in half. It was not on then or someone could have been injured. Filed complaint. No show and ghosting thereafter. Will file in consumer court.

    Massive traffic gridlock on Nandidurg Road. It’s been getting unmanageable the last several days @BlrCityPolice #trafficjams

    Massive jam - gridlocked- for over 45 mins on Church Street/St Marks road crossing. Not a traffic cop in sight. Some Good Samaritan auto drivers directing traffic! @blrcitytraffic @BlrCityPolice

    Even back in 1970 Petrus had dispensed of the word Château on the label.
