We’ll also have our first apricot and pine nut bakewells of the summer; salted chocolate brownies; sticky salted caramel cookies; peanut butter bars; silky custard tart; cardamom knots; sticky buns; and a choice of bomboloni with gianduja (think Nutella but 100 times better) or raspberry ripple fillings.

The Domaine Les Hautes Terres Blanc: full fruit on the nose with scents of nuts, fresh almond, acacia flowers, hawthorn and broom. A pure, lemony style opens up on the palate with notes of white flowers and fresh cream. 8 hectares, 400 metres above sea level, calcareous soil. Natural vinification and a touch of oak. What could go wrong? Delicious, or, as producer Gilles Azam says: “Ç’est l’incontournable de l’été!” – It’s the must of the summer!
