Carcassonne’s Hotel de la Cité – Georges Gracia on O’Vineyards
I toured the restaurant and cellar at La Barbacane, the main restaurant in l’Hotel de la Cité. This is one of the big attractions at the medieval castle of Carcassonne. It’s a huge treat because this Michelin-starred restaurant is a landmark in one of France’s most visited monuments!
Georges Gracia, the sommelier and restaurant manager showed me how everything gets done at the restaurant and we took a moment to talk a little about Languedoc wines and O’Vineyards’ place amongst them. If you speak French, you should just check out the video footage. Otherwise, the summary is that the Languedoc is going places and winemakers like us hope to be a pretty big part of this future.
