You leave Paris behind as the city’s geometry softens into stitched vineyards and low, rolling hills. By mid-morning the van threads narrow lanes of the Côte des Bar, rows of vines aligning like disciplined hands. The air tastes faintly of earth and yeast; somewhere a cork pops and the tour begins.
