SAINT-EMILION WINES, A CULTURE

If François Baroin enjoys tasting a Saint Emilion wine, he is also sensitive to the verb, the words around the time of sharing: “I discovered these wines with passion because I had the chance to be accompanied by exceptional personalities”, he says, before continuing, “People who have such a vocabulary, such passion and know-how to give it such a real good time, those are the lighter moments in a political career”. The senator of Aube also says he was moved by these “Stories, often familial, which are transmitted with passion and wisdom”. And François Baroin salutes the vitality of the “New generation of winemakers, who has arrived and is taking shape. This was not the case 10 or 15 years ago. This generation wants a comeback, it’s full of hope”, he says..
