Montmartre Grape Harvest Festival


I am going to tell you about what we can eat and drink in Montmartre Grape Harvest Festival.
There are lots of stands for eating and drinking.
There are stands that we can drink cocoa, shop for Raclette (eating bread and potatoes with melted cheese) stand for sausages escargot, crepes, pate de foie gras, chocolates, jam and honey etc.
Above all things, wine stands are more than another stands. You can taste wine from each region for 2-5 euros (about 320yen-500yen). There are 27 types of grapes which are grown in Montmartre.
Looking at production, 85% of them are Gamay, 20% of them are Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewürztraminer, Risling and so on.
But there is only 1 type of wine which produced in Montmartre. This is made from Gamay and Pinot Noir. About 1500 bottle of wine are produced every year. It is called [Ru] Cros [do] Montmartre. There are few productions so it is valuable.
Of course you can taste this wine in this festival. You can also buy one for 40 euros (about 6,500yen).
